You can use the Console Port to conduct local management sessions of
the switch. Local management sessions require a terminal or PC with a
terminal emulation program, and the management cable that comes with
the switch.
Local management sessions are not conducted over a network.
Consequently, the switch does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address
for this type of management.
Because the switch does not come with a default IP address, your initial
management session must be a local management session. For
instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to "Starting
a Local Management Session" on page 127 or the Software Reference for
SwitchBlade x908 Gen2 Switch.
The Switch ID LED, shown in Figure 11, displays the ID number of the
switch. A stand-alone switch has the ID number 0. The states of the LED
when the switch is not operating in the low power mode are shown in
Figure 11.
The chassis is booting up.
The chassis has encountered a fault condition.
The chassis is operating as a stand-alone switch, with the
ID number 1.
The chassis is a member of a VCStack and has
an ID number in the range of 1 to 4.
The dot in the lower right corner flashes when the switch
accesses USB memory.
