v
Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 management port and use Telnet,
SNMP, or a Web browser to access the CLI through the IP address provided by
the network’s DHCP server.
v Connect the mini-USB console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the switch
unit’s front panel, and use a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation
program to access the switch CLI.
The console port terminal-emulation requirements are as follows:
v Default baud rate = 9,600 bps
v
Character size = 8 characters
v Parity = none
v
Stop bits = 1
v Data bits = 8
v
Flow control = none
The switch performs initial self tests, and displays the password prompt, similar to

Default configuration
The switch software contains default factory-loaded configuration files. The default
configuration is part of the software; it cannot be deleted or changed. The default
settings allow the switch to perform basic functions with minimal effort by the
system administrator. DHCP is enabled by default on the management interfaces
and BOOTP is enabled by default on interface 1. If there is no DHCP offer received,
the device uses the default
Mgmt _IP address (192.168.50.50/24) . This address is
overwritten when a DHCP/BOOTP address is received for that interface. If
DHCP/BOOTP is enabled and there is no static address configured for
DHCP/BOOTP requests will continue to be sent. This feature does not change
existing DHCP/BOOTP functionality. See the following initial configuration example:
