Configuring for Out-Of-Band Connectivity

To monitor and configure the switch using out-of-band connectivity, use the console port to connect the switch to a terminal desktop system running terminal emulation software. The console port connector is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connector.

The following hardware is required to use the console port:

•VT100-compatible terminal, or a desktop, or a portable system with a serial port running VT100 terminal emulation software.

•An RS-232 crossover cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port and the appropriate connector for the terminal.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port using out-of-band connectivity:

1.Connect an RS-232 crossover cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2.Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

a.Select the appropriate serial port (serial port 1 or serial port 2) to connect to the console.

b.Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.

c.Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

d.Set the flow control to none.
