Introduction
To log in through the Console port is the most common way to log into a switch.
It is also the prerequisite to configure other login methods. Normally, you can log
into a Switch 7750 Ethernet switch through its Console port.
To log into an Ethernet switch through its Console port, the communication
configuration of the user terminal must be in accordance with that of the Console
port.
Table 11 lists the default settings of a Console port.
After logging into a switch, you can perform configuration for AUX users. Refer to
“Console Port Login Configuration” on page 37 for more.
