On the Main Menu, select Management Menu. From the Management Menu,
select Serial Port Configuration Menu. Figure 20 shows the parameters to
configure the serial EIA 232 port.
You specify Login Timeout and Baud Rate:
Serial Port Login Timeout
Specifies the maximum connect time without console activity. The value is
in a range from 0 to 160 minutes. A value of 0 indicates that a console can
be connected indefinitely. The default value is 5 minutes.
Baud Rate
Specifies the communication rate of the terminal interface. Values can be
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. The default
value is 19200.
Configuring for DHCP or BootP
If you do not want to manually configure the switch with IP information, the switch
can obtain the IP information from a BootP or DHCP server. The switch must be
accessible through a port which is a member of the Default VLAN ID 1. When
BootP or DHCP is enabled, the switch periodically sends out requests until a
response is received from either a DHCP or BootP server. The IP information in the
BootP or DHCP response overlays any existing IP information in switch. The new IP
information is not retained across a reset until you select Save.
Note: If you configure a switch with an IP address, then DHCP frames will
effectively be ignored (that is, the configured IP address will have priority
over the address received via DHCP). However, BootP frames will have
priority over a configured IP address. A difference between BootP and DHCP
frames is that DHCP frames have 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF as the destination
MAC address, while BootP frames have the switch’s individual MAC address
as the destination address.
Configuring the DHCP
To configure the DHCP server for static DHCP, you must specify an IP address that
will be assigned to the switch. This IP address is mapped to the switch’s MAC
