Chapter 3 Installing the Switches
Configuring Basic Connectivity
You can connect the serial console port to a PC serial port for local administrative access to the switch.
A terminal emulation software product, such as HyperTerminal, makes communication between your
switch and your PC possible during setup and configuration.
To connect the console port to a PC, follow these steps:
Step 1
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC terminal emulation program to match the
following management port default characteristics:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data Bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop Bits: 1
Step 2
Connect the supplied DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or DB-25/RJ-45 female adapter (depending on your
PC connection) to the PC serial port.
Step 3
Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a flat rollover RJ-45 cable) to the serial console port.
(See
Figure 3-7
and
Figure 3-8
.) Connect the other end to the DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or
DB-25/RJ-45 adapter at the PC serial port.
After you connect the serial console port, you may configure a static IP address for the Ethernet
management interface by following these steps:
Step 1
