Console Port Access

The switch console port provides switch access to a directly-attached terminal or PC or to a remote
terminal or PC through a serial connection and a modem. For information about connecting to the switch
console port, refer to the switch hardware installation guide.
Be sure that the switch console port settings match the settings of the terminal or PC. These are the
default settings of the switch console port:

•
Make sure that you save any changes you make to the switch console port settings to Flash memory. For

HTTP Access to CMS

CMS uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is an in-band form of communication with the
switch through any one of its Ethernet ports and that allows switch management from a standard web
browser. The default HTTP port is 80.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in
the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP
port number).
Do not disable or otherwise misconfigure the port through which your management station is
communicating with the switch. You might want to write down the port number to which you are
connected. Changes to the switch IP information should be done with care.
For information about connecting to a switch port, refer to the switch hardware installation guide.
