Starting a Local Management Session
This section contains the procedure for starting a local management
session on the switch. Please review the following information before
performing the procedure:
The initial management session with the switch must be a local
session.
Local management sessions are conducted through the Console
port on the front panel.
Local management sessions do not interfere with the network
operations of the switch.
The switch comes with one 2 m (6.6 ft) management cable, with
RJ-45 and DB-9 connectors, for local management sessions. Refer
to Table 11 on page 65.
The switch does not need an IP address for local management
sessions.
You cannot initially manage the switch remotely with Telnet, SSH,
or web browser because the switch does not have a default IP
address and the DHCP client is disabled.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on your management cable to the
Console port on the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
3. Configure the VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation program as
follows:
Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Console port is
adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow controller: None
The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulator program.
