so your locked out or it just hasnt set a password? did you do an wr mem command? after setting the password.
wr mem = write memory
when you make any changes that you want to save yes do a wr mem and if you mess up just delete the startup config and reload the switch and go again, trial and error method if you want.
ok so if you want to try your username and password its been a minute for me but I dont think it starts right away if your connected with the console cable I think you either need to reload but i would do a wr mem first before doing that.
Correct if you lock yourself out just go back into the bootloader and delete the startup config or just reload the firmware from there and start over.
Well, unless his network is a /8 or /16 or something
So that’s saying you haven’t set a password to be required to run `enable`
The password you set for the user on the switch, “Super”, will still be there and happy, and you will be asked for that password whenever you log in via the console cable or SSH.
You can additionally set an additional password that is requested whenever you run `enable`, which adds a little extra protection to your configuration, so you really don’t need to worry about that message in a homelab setting
Did you move the network cable from the management port to one of the regular switchports?
no that is 2 steps ahead in the directions im looking at. in the fohdeesha.com/docs/icx7250.html
are others following other instructions? i seem to always be in a different place than others expect when im going in this order.
You are missing the CIDR suffix. The /24 (in your case). Hence the incomplete command error.

that got me through that step and into the step saying to move ethernet to normal port and enter next line and i get an error code 5. the instructions dont say to but im wondering if i should have also switched the pc ip back to its normal ip at this time instead of the example one.
Yes now your tftp server needs to be in the same ip range and subnet as the vif you just set in the previous step. So they can talk.
In other words put your tftp machine back to how you normally have it with a 10.0.0.x ip and they should be able to talk.

Same instructions. But most starting on this have basic understanding of IPv4 networking. It's a bit of a deep dive without prior knowledge.
I was specifying the interface in my ipv6 default route because it points to a link-local IP, and I wanted to specify it's a link-local IP on that interface, also I am on 8095.
I was playing around with it a bit more and I found the solution! When I enabled ipv6 unicast-routing globally, it automatically configures the switch to send router advertisements on all interfaces
So i ran
conf t
int ve 100
ipv6 nd suppress-ra
under my ve 100 interface, and now the problem I had with hosts not being able to communicate with other hosts over IPv6 is solved, it works now. I'm not sure why this solves it though
