RackSwitch G8272 Installation Guide
Use the RJ-45 console cable to connect the RS-232 serial port on the G8272 front
panel to a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. You can
then access the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to perform initial configuration tasks.
The console port terminal-emulation requirements are as follows:
•
Default baud rate = 9,600 bps
•
Character size = 8 characters
•
Parity = none
•
Stop bits = 1
•
Data bits = 8
•
Flow control = none
The switch performs initial self tests, and prompts for the password. For example:
Memory Test ................................
Production Mode
PPCBoot 0.0.0.10 (new flash)
Memory Test (0x00) .............................PASSED
