Starting a Local Management Session
This section contains the procedure for starting a local management
session on the switch. Please review the following information before
performing the procedure:

The initial management session with the switch must be a local
session.

Local management sessions are conducted through the Console
port on the front panel.

Local management sessions do not interfere with the network
operations of the switch.

The switch comes with one 2 m (6.6 ft) management cable, with
RJ-45 and DB-9 connectors, for local management sessions. Refer
to Table 11 on page 65.

The switch does not need an IP address for local management
sessions.

You cannot initially manage the switch remotely with Telnet, SSH,
or web browser because the switch does not have a default IP
address and the DHCP client is disabled.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on your management cable to the
Console port on the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
3. Configure the VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation program as
follows:

Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Console port is
adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow controller: None
Note
The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulator program.
