Chapter 3: AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card
Console (RS-232) Port
The Console Port is used to conduct local management sessions with the
switch. Local management sessions are established with a terminal or PC
with a terminal emulation program, and the management cable that comes
with the card.
Local management is not conducted over a network. Consequently, the
AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card does not need an Internet
Protocol (IP) address for this type of management.
Your initial management session with the switch must be a local
management session. For instructions on how to start a local
management session, refer to "Using Local Management to Verify the
Chassis" on page 214 or the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100
Series Switches.
