Initial Management Access
After your switch has completed all power on self-tests, it is operational. You can log in and configure
an IP address for the default VLAN (named
default ).
NOTE
In BlackDiamond switches, the management port on the MSM is part of the management VLAN by default. Refer to
“Management Ports” on page 16 for further details.
Connecting Equipment to the Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for temporary direct local management. This connection is not
intended to be left in place for normal (long-term) use.
The console port settings are:
●
Baud rate—9600
●
Data bits—8
●
Stop bit—1
●
Parity—None
●
Flow control—XON/XOFF
The terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software that you connect to an Extreme Networks switch
must be configured with these settings. This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with
the terminal.
Appropriate shielded serial cables are available from your local supplier, or you can make your own. To
ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of the unit, use only shielded serial cables that are grounded
on both ends. For information about the DB-9 console plug connector, see
“Connector Pinouts” on
page 153 .
