Initial Setup and Verification
Establishing an Out-of-Band Management Port Connection
2.
Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation such as synchronization programs.
3.
Open a terminal emulator application such as HyperTerminal on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment, and configure the application as follows:
•
In a Windows environment
-
Baud: 9600 bps
-
Data bits: 8
-
Parity: None
-
Stop bits: 1
-
Flow control: None
•
In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Establishing an Out-of-Band Management Port Connection
The Gigabit Ethernet management port (RJ-45) on the Ruckus ICX 7850 front panel provides an out-of-band network connection to the
device. After you assign an IP address, you can access the Ruckus ICX 7850 from anywhere in the attached network using Telnet, a web
browser, or other network management tools, such as Ruckus Network Advisor. To prevent unauthorized access, Ruckus recommends
that the management port only be connected to a secure private network.
To manage the Ruckus ICX 7850 switch through its management port, connect the port to the Ethernet network using Category 5 or
better cable. Management of the Ruckus ICX 7850 is described in detail in the
Ruckus FastIron Management Configuration Guide
