Logging In To The Cli; Fips Compliance; Logging In Through The Console Port For The First Time - H3C S5500-HI Series Fundamentals Configuration Manual

Logging in to the CLI

By default, the first time you access the CLI you must log in through the console port, locally or remotely
by using a pair of modems. At the CLI, you can configure Telnet or SSH for remote access.

FIPS compliance

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features,
commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about
FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.

Logging in through the console port for the first time

To log in through the console port, make sure the console terminal has a terminal emulation program (for
example, HyperTerminal in Windows XP). In addition, the port settings of the terminal emulation
program must be the same as the default settings of the console port in

To log in through the console port from a console terminal (for example, a PC):
1. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the device.
IMPORTANT:
Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
•
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the switch has been powered on, always connect
•
the console cable to the PC before connecting to the switch, and when you disconnect the cable, first
disconnect it from the switch.
