Chapter 12: Troubleshooting
Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session
244
If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session
with the switch through the Console RS-232 port on the front panel, do the
following:
Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is
securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active
master controller card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or
personal computer.
If the chassis has two controller cards, verify that the management
cable is connected to the active master controller card. You can
discern the active master card by examining the M/S LED. The
LED is solid green on the active master controller card and solid or
flashing amber on the inactive master card.
Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or
the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal
computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the RJ-
45 serial terminal port are located in "Using Local Management to
Verify the Chassis" on page 212.
Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is
compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
