The terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software that you connect to an Extreme Networks switch
must be configured with these settings. This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with
the terminal.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier, or you can make your own. To ensure the
electromagnetic compatibility of the unit, use only shielded serial cables. For information about the
DB-9 console plug connector, see

The system will ask a series of questions about the default management settings, which allow all
forms of management access for convenience in setting the initial configuration. Administrator
capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.

type.

For more information about logging in to the switch and configuring switch management
access, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

For more information about how to assign a specific system name, see the ExtremeXOS
Concepts Guide.
