Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable

You can use the serial port to monitor error messages through the serial connection. If the serial port is no longer required, use the logout
command to log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and replace the plug in the serial port.

Establishing an Ethernet connection to the device

After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the device, you can connect the active CP blade to the local area network
(LAN).
NOTE
Connecting the CP blades to a private network or VLAN is recommended.
By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the device configuration using a serial session, Telnet, or management
applications, such as Web Tools or Brocade Network Advisor.
Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection to the device.
1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP blade.
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 BaseT LAN.
The device can be accessed through a remote connection using the command line via Telnet or any of the management tools,
such as Web Tools or Brocade Network Advisor.
