Your Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports a console management
interface that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either
with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the
network using the TCP/IP TELNET protocol. You can use this
facility to perform many basic network management functions. In
addition, the console program will allow you to set up the Switch
for management using an SNMP-based network management
system. This chapter describes how to use the console interface to
access the Switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.
Connecting to the Switch
You can use the console interface by connecting the Switch to a
VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary
terminal emulator program (e.g., the terminal program included
with the Windows operating system) using an RS-232C serial
cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
♦ VT-100/ANSI compatible
♦ Arrow keys enabled
