OL-2031-02
To connect a terminal to the console port using the cable and adapters provided
with the Catalyst 4224, connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and
RJ-45-to-DB-25 DTE adapter or RJ-45-to-DB-9 DTE adapter (labeled Terminal).
Check the documentation that came with your terminal to determine the baud rate.
The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the
console port.
Set up the terminal as follows:
9600 baud
•
Eight data bits
•
No parity
•
Two stop bits
•
No flow control
•
Connect the modem to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and the
RJ-45-to-DB-25 DCE adapter (labeled Modem).
You can manage the Catalyst 4224 through the 10/100 management port by
assigning it an IP address.
By default, the Fast Ethernet interface does not route data traffic.
Cisco recommends that you do not override this default
configuration.
If the Ethernet 10/100 management port is up and an IP address has been
configured, the Catalyst 4224 selects the IP address assigned to the 10/100
Ethernet management port.
