Starting a Local Management Session
This procedure explains how to start a local management session on
the switch. You perform local management sessions by connecting
your computer to the Console port on the front panel. The switch
does not need an IP address for local management sessions.
Local management sessions require the management cable that
comes with the switch. It has an RJ-45 connector that connects to the
Console port and a DB-9 connector that connects to a DB-9
connector on your computer. See "Unpacking the Switch" on
page 10.
To start a local management session, perform the following
procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management card to the
Console RS-232 port on the switch.
2. Connect the management cable to a RS-232 connector on a
terminal or personal computer with a terminal emulation
program.
3. Configure the VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation program as
follows:
Default baud rate: 9600 bps (The supported baud rates of the

Console port are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.)
Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow controller: None

4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a user name and password.
