Hello,
First of all, thank you for your feedback and for the links provided.
After entering enable mode, the setup function is not usable and I get the following :
No Day0 Config File Found
Failed to generate persistent self-signed certificate.
Secure server will use temporary self-signed certificate.

I have tried the configure command as well but it is not active on my model, I have read that it is only working on the LL models, the SM ones cannot enter into configuration mode through CLI.
I have then tried and success to create a config file and the switch now get the ip I have specified on vlan1 192.168.1.1 and I can reach the web access prompt
However, I have tried to set up a user & password directly into the config file but it doesn't allow me to access using the web access prompt
I will continue to dig into it to see if I can get this password configured another way. Please feel free if you have any suggestion.
Regards
Frank
Update :
I know have the attached configuration on the switch. The login is prompted when I log from the console and I can access normally using smartm / c2960lsm defaut creditential
However the access to the WGUI is still off, the login window get prompted all the time. I am wondering if this is a problem of password finally and might be something else.
Will keep you in touch.
Update 08/02:
Hello everyone,
I have finally be able to solve my problem, I will explain how in case someone else encounters the same issue to access web GUI.
It seems the problem was not coming from wrong username or password or anything broken from the os but from the user not having enough privilege. One of the challenge was to be able to modify the default user / create a new user without being able to access the configuration mode and with the setup command not working on enable mode.
I will let my colleagues correct if there is a better way but this one worked for me.
Prepare the configuration file using the default username & password for this model of switch with the right level of privilege :
username smartm privilege 15 password 0 c2960lsm
Please note that I had lost default factory ip & dhcp function so I have also inserted the below code in the config file to fix it :
Switch ip on vlan 1
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
DHCP
ip dhcp pool admin
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
dns-server 192.168.1.1
Finally please find attached the config code I have used in case you need to check yours.
To upgrade the configuration without having access to the config mode, I have used the following solution :
Use console port to reach the switch
Go on enable mode
Create a config file using the following command :
tclsh
puts [open "flash:filename" w+] {
put your configuration code here
}
tclquitReplace filename by config.new for example.
Rename the active config file for back up purpose :
rename flash:config.text flash:config.bu
Rename your new config file :
rename flash:config.new flash:config.text
Restart the switch so it can load the new config :
reload
After rebooting, your switch will have the new config loaded, I have then used the following command (not sure it was needed)
copy running-config startup-config
Finally, you should be able to access again the switch through a web browser using the default username & password :
Login : smartm
Password : c2960lsm
I hope it helps. Thank you for the insight from the community, see you soon.
