Cisco ME 2400 Ethernet Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Connecting to the Console Port
Note
You need to provide the Category 5 straight-through cables to connect the switch ports to other
Ethernet devices.
Note
You can use the CLI mdix auto interface configuration command to enable the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled,
the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the
other end of the connection.
Connecting to the Console Port
You can use the console port to perform the initial configuration. To connect the switch console port to
a PC, use an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. You must supply this cable if you did not order it with your
switch.
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:
Step 1
Using an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the rear of a
switch, as shown in
Figure D-1 and Figure D-2 .
Step 2
Attach the DB-9 female DTE of the adapter cable to a PC serial port, or attach an appropriate adapter to
the terminal.
