Activities on the Switch can be monitored with these components,
while the Switch can be manipulated to carry out specific tasks.
Diagnostic (Console) Port (RS-232 DCE)
Out-of-band management requires connecting a terminal, such as a
VT-100 or a PC running terminal emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal, which is automatically installed with Microsoft
Windows) a to the RS-232 DCE console port of the Switch. Switch
management using the RS-232 DCE console port is called Local
Console Management to differentiate it from management done via
management platforms, such as D-View, HP OpenView, etc.
The console port is set for the following configuration:
Baud rate:
Data width:
Parity:
Stop bits:
Flow Control
Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this
connection is configured to match these settings.
If you are having problems making this connection on a PC, make
sure the emulation is set to VT-100 or ANSI. If you still don't see
anything, try hitting <Ctrl> + r to refresh the screen.
