Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches Ethernet Cables When connecting an RJ-45/RJ-48 port to an end station, workstation or server, use a standard RJ-45/RJ-48 pin-out cable. Console Interface A simple menu-driven interface provides for system initialization and diagnostics. The Console interface is EIA232 VT-100 compatible.
Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches For each DC power block a set of a minimum 2x18AWG cables shall be used with suitable end terminal legs matching the conductor’s gauge. Use a RED lead to for the positive conductor and a BLACK lead for the negative conductor.
Mount the lug on the two grounding posts, replace the spring-washers and fasten the bolts. Avoid using excessive torque. Connect the grounding wire to a reliable ground. If the switch is mounted in a rack, use a common ground for all devices on the rack, according to your company’s policy.
The Configuration command-language interface (CLI) is accessed by using a VT-100 (or compatible terminal) to the console port of the switch. The terminal port parameters are fixed at: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and without flow control. This provides a convenient method for initial setup of the switch.
Enter configure mode. Type the command: configure terminal. Set the switch IP address: Type the command: ip address <aa.bb.cc.dd/yy>, where <aa.bb.cc.dd> is the IP address assigned to the switch and yy is the number of bits in the netmask (e.g. netmask of 255.255.255.0 would be /24).

Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches Built-In Self Test (BIST) The BIST performs a set of basic hardware and configuration validity tests. Tests in the BIST are sorted into several groups – for example, the tests of the Power Supply units belong to a Power Supply Test group.
In such cases, the switch starts in debug mode (switching disabled and the switch is running with the default configuration). If one of the On-Board Power level checks fails, the switch will not initialize the ports and will start in a special debug mode, as shown below: Press any key to stop auto-boot...

Ensure that the workstation acting as TFTP server is configured properly. • Ensure that the switch has a route to the TFTP server. The switch and the TFTP server must be in the same subnet if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Use the ping command to check connectivity to the TFTP server.
