3.2 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented,
menu-driven user interface for performing system administration
such as displaying statistics or changing option settings.
Using this method, you can view the administration console from
a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation
connected to the switch’s console port.
There are two ways to use this management method: direct
access or modem access. The following sections describe these
methods.
DIRECT ACCESS
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by
directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the
switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the
terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you
can change these settings after login):
[DEFAULT PARAMETERS]
♦
115,200bps
♦
8 data bits
♦
No parity
♦
1 stop bit
