Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the switch to a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an
ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the
HyperTerminal
program included with the Windows operating
system) using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to
:
•
VT-100 compatible
•
115200 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
One stop bit
•
No flow control
Users can also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once users have set an IP address for your
Switch, users can use a Telnet program (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the switch.
All of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
After the switch reboots and users have logged in, the console looks like this:
