Initial Startup
When an E4G series router is started for the first time, it can take up to 40 minutes for the clock
function to stabilize and allow the T1 lines to hold synchronization.
Fans in the E4G-400 router may not start immediately when the unit is connected to power. The system
cycles the fans on and off automatically in response to cooling requirements in the unit.
Initial Management Access
When you set up the router for the first time, you must connect to the console to access the router and
perform initial security configuration. At this time you can also manually configure an IP address for
the management VLAN.
Connecting Equipment to the Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for direct local management. The console port settings are:
Baud rate—9600
●
Data bits—8
●
Stop bit—1
●
Parity—None
●
Flow control—XON/XOFF
●
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.
A console cable is shipped with each E4G series router. For connector pinouts associated with the
console ports, see
"E4G-200 Series Connector Pinouts" on page
To connect to the console port on the E4G-200 series router, use the provided Ethernet cable and
DB-9-to-RJ-45 adapter.
To connect to the console port on the E4G-400 router, use the provided console cable.
A console-to-USB adapter may be needed if your PC or interface does not have a console port.
Logging In for the First Time
After your switch has completed all power on self-tests, it is operational. You can log in and configure
an IP address for the management VLAN (named mgmt).
NOTE
The management port is part of the management VLAN by default.
