Cabling the Console Port

The Console port provides access for either local or
remote administration.
For local administration of the Switch 9300, the
Console port provides an RS-232 connection to a
local terminal or workstation that runs a terminal
emulation program and acts as the console.
For remote administration, the Console port provides
the means to connect an external modem, which you
can use to establish a connection between your
current Console session and the modem port.
The Console port has a male 9-pin, D-type connector.
To cable the Console port:
Attach the female DB-9 cable connector to the
1
Console port's male connector.
Attach the other end of the serial cable to your
2
terminal.
Figure 12 shows the cabling of the Console port.
You can also access the system remotely through any
Ethernet port using Telnet. See the Implementation
Guide.
To use the Administration Console to configure the
system for management access through the Console
port, see Chapter 5.
