NOTE:
• Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
• The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating switch,
first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating switch, first disconnect the switch
end.

Setting terminal parameters

To configure and manage the switch through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator
program, TeraTermPro or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal. You can use the emulator program
to connect a network device, a Telnet site, or an SSH site. For more information about the terminal
emulator programs, see the user guides for these programs
The following are the required terminal settings:
•
Bits per second—9600.
•
Data bits—8.
•
Stop bits—1.
•
Parity—None.
•
Flow control—None.

Starting the switch

Verify that the following requirements are met:
1.
The power cords are connected correctly.
The input power voltage is as required by the switch.
The console cable is connected correctly.
The configuration terminal (a PC, for example) has started, and its serial port settings are
consistent with the console port settings on the switch.
Power on the switch.
2.
During the startup process, you can access Boot ROM menus to perform tasks such as
software upgrade and file management. The Boot ROM interface and menu options vary by
software version. For more information about Boot ROM menu options, see the release notes
for the device.
After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch.
