Logging In Through
the Console Port
4 Logging Into the OSN|M
Linux System
You can log into the OSN|M Linux system through:
The OSN|M's console port.
■
The OSN|M's management Ethernet port using SSH.
■
The OSN|M's internal service interface using SSH
■
A serial port redirection after you log into the switch. You can connect
■
to the switch's OSN|M or to another switch's (within the same fabric)
OSN|M to which you have logged in through a CLI.
After you connect to the OSN|M's Linux system, you need to input the
correct username and password. The default username and password are
both root.
In this example, a PC acts as a terminal. Connect the terminal's serial port
to the OSN|M's console port through the configuration cable.
1 Connect the configuration cable's DB-9 female connector to the PC's
serial port, and the cable's RJ-45 connector to the OSN|M's console port.
2 Start the PC and run a terminal emulation program such as the Windows
HyperTerminal. Select the connection mode COM and set the following
terminal parameters:
Bits per second: 9600
■
Data bits: 8
■
Parity: none
■
Stop bits: 1
■
Flow control: None
■
You can now power on the OSN|M and log into its Linux system through
the PC's terminal emulation program.
