Configuring the Switch Using the Console Interface
131
Defining Static Routes
Routes between the IP interfaces and a default gateway or other
router with a WAN connection should be determined beforehand
and entered into the static/default routing table on the DES-3326.
Connecting to the Switch
You can use the console interface by connecting the Switch to a
VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary
terminal emulator program (e.g., the
terminal
program included
with the Windows operating system) using an RS-232C serial
cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
??
VT-100/ANSI compatible
??
9,600 baud
??
8 data bits
??
No parity
??
One stop bit
??
No flow control
You can also access the same functions over a
TELNET
interface.
Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a
TELNET
program (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access
and control the Switch. All of the screens are identical, whether
accessed from the console port or from a
TELNET
interface.
