Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
Important You must use the out-of-band console connection to minimally configure the
switch with an IP address and subnet mask before you can use an in-band or
out-of-band networked connection to manage the switch. Continue with
“Minimal Configuration Through the Console Port Connection” on page 3-2
for more information.
Console Cable Pinouts
The console cable has an RJ-45 plug on one end and a DB-9 female connector
on the other end. Table 2-2 describes the mapping of the RJ-45 to DB-9 pins.
