Connecting to the Console Port
You can use the console port to perform the initial configuration. To connect the
switch console port to a PC, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.
Note If you have stacked your switches, connect to the console port of one of the
switches in the stack. The initial configuration for the entire stack can be
performed on any switch in the stack.
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:
Step 1 Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into
the console port on the rear of a switch, as shown in Figure C-4.
Step 2 Attach the DB-9 female DTE of the adapter cable to a PC’s serial port, or attach
an appropriate adapter to the terminal.
