CrossFire 8720 Fast Ethernet Layer 3 Switch, v. 1.00.02, P/N: 710001800 Switch Access for Management
3.6 Using the Console Interface
You can access the switch console interface using either:
•
The Console EIA-232 port (locally or remotely via modems and a telephone
network).
•
Via Telnet - from a PC running a Telnet application connected to a LAN.
Telnet requires that an IP address and subnet mask have already been
configured on the switch - see IP Switching in the Olicom CrossFire 8720 Fast
Ethernet Layer 3 Switch Reference Guide for details.
You can start several concurrent console sessions (via a serial port and via Telnet)
from different management stations (the actual number is subject of the available
switch resources, being a function of the switch load).
3.6.1 Connecting a Console
The switch console DB-9 port, which is labelled as “Management” on the front
panel, is an EIA 232 port wired as a DTE. (See appendix A, Cable and PIN
Information, for a description of the cables and adapters). You should observe the
following when connecting your console:
1. To connect your terminal locally, you can use either a null-modem cable or a
modem cable with a null-modem adapter attached.
2. For a modem connection, use a standard modem cable.
3.6.2 How to Start a Console Session
1. Start your PC terminal emulator or terminal, or Telnet to the switch from a
remote terminal device.
2. If you are using a PC terminal emulator or a terminal, set the baud rate to 9600.
3. The screen briefly displays a message indicating the baud rate at which the
serial interface is operating.
4. If a password has been set, a screen with system name and the password
prompt appears. Type the password and press
Enter
.
5. The switch identification screen displays the copyright notice, system
descriptive data, and the MAC address. If there is any system-down
information to report, the switch displays it in this step (and writes it in the
Event Log).
