Follow these steps:
1. Connect the supplied RJ-45-to DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on
the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the switch.
2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Use the CLI to enter commands to configure the switch. See the software
configuration guide and the command reference for more information.
Other Management Options
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network
Management Solution (SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the
switch. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is
running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management
device that works with embedded CNS agents in the switch software. You can use
IE2100 to automate initial configurations and configuration updates on the
switch.
See the “Accessing Help Online” section on page 1-20 for a list of supporting
documentation.
Rack-Mounting
This section covers basic 19-inch rack-mounting and switch port connections. As
an example, all the illustrations show the Catalyst 2960G-48TC-L switch. You can
install and connect the Catalyst 2960G-48TC-L or other Catalyst 2960 switches
as shown in these illustrations. For alternate mounting procedures, such as
installing the switch in a 24-inch rack or on a wall, and for additional cabling
information, see the Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on
Cisco.com.
