Accessing the switch for the first time
Setting up the configuration environment
An HPE 5710 switch supports the following ways to connect the configuration terminal:
• Through the console port by using the serial console cable
The switch comes with the serial console cable. This way is preferred.
• Through the Mini USB console port by using the user-supplied USB mini console cable
Do not use the two ways together on the same HPE 5710 switch.
The example uses a console cable to connect a console terminal (PC) to the serial console port on
the switch.

A serial console cable is an 8-core cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting
