requires that you be at the physical location of the switch. The switch does
not have to have an IP address for local management.
To establish a local management session with the switch, use the provided
management cable to connect a terminal or a personal computer with a
terminal emulation program to the Console port, which has an RJ-45 style
(8P8C) connector. The cable has RJ-45 style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-
pin) connectors.
