Complete the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console (RJ-45 serial port) of the device.
To connect the console port to a DB-9 port, you need an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.
For information about locating the serial port, refer to Network and management interfaces on page 15.
The serial port has an RJ-45 connector. For port pinout information, refer to the Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 Stackable
Switches Technical Specifications on page 91.
NOTE
You must run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:
• Baud: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. When you
establish the serial connection to the system, press
Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window, as shown
in the following example.

If you see this prompt, you are connected to the system and can proceed to the task Password assignment on page 68
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch
Administration Guide .
If you do not see the prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Brocade system.
Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously configured session settings, make sure the
terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Brocade system.
Password assignment
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly recommends assigning passwords. Refer to
the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide .
NOTE
You can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the
device.
The CLI contains the following access levels:
• User EXEC - The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but you
cannot configure system or port parameters.
• Privileged EXEC - This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can perform tasks such as
managing files on the flash module, saving the system configuration to flash, and clearing caches at this level.
• CONFIG - The configuration level. This level allows you to configure the system IP address and configure switching and routing
features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged in to the Privileged EXEC level.
