You will need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching management station through a serial cable to
the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or IronView
Network Manager.
To attach a management station using the serial port:
1. Use a straight-through cable to connect a PC or terminal to the male DB-9 serial port connector.
NOTE
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
•
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation
window. For example:
•
FastIron>
•
FastIron-PREM>
•
When you see one of these prompts, you are connected to the system and can proceed to
passwords" on page 61.
•
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. Refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
If you do not see a prompt:
1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Brocade device.
2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make sure the terminal
emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Brocade device.
The EIA /TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. Brocade
switches and Layer 3 Switches come with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in
