Configuring the Switch Using the CLI

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the RJ-45 console port or USB
console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation
program.
Note

Connecting the RJ45 Console Port

Procedure
Step 1
Connect the RJ45 port to the serial port on the terminal server or your PC using the optional RJ45-to-DB9
adapter cable. Connect the other end of the cable to the switch console port.
Step 2 Start the terminal-emulation program on the PC or the terminal. The program, frequently a PC application
such as Putty or TeraTerm, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match the console port default
characteristics:
