ANAGEMENT
If your network does not have a DHCP or BootP server, the workstation
running 3Com Network Supervisor must be on the same subnet as the
Switch, because Auto-IP addresses are non-routable.
Connecting to the
Console Port
Alternatively, you can view the automatically configured IP information
via the command line interface (CLI) through a connection to the console
port. (This example describes a local connection to the console port,
rather than a remote one via a modem.)
Pre-requisites
■
A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as
Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate
with the Switch via the console port directly, or through a modem.
■
Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.
■
A suitable cable:
■
A standard null modem cable — if you are connecting directly to
the console port, or
■
A standard modem cable — if you are connecting to the console
port using a modem.
You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables in
Appendix B
on
page 69
.
■
A Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to
connect your Switch to the network.
Connecting the Workstation to the Switch
