terminal
A PC with a serial port.
Setting up the configuration environment
Follow these steps to connect the local terminal (a PC in this example) to the console port of the switch
through a console cable, as shown in Figure 41.
Step1 Plug the DB-9 (female) connector of the console cable to the serial interface of the PC on which you
configure the switch.
Step2 Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the switch.
CAUTION:
• Identify the port to avoid connection errors.
• Do not plug or unplug the console cable when your switch is powered on, because the serial port of the
PC is not hot swappable. When connecting the PC to your switch, first plug the DB-9 connector of the
console cable to the PC, and then plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to your switch. When
disconnecting the PC from your switch, first unplug the RJ-45 connector and then the DB-9 connector.
