Setting the Console Port Baud

To change the baud setting of the Console port:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, at the Select menu option prompt, enter:

system

2At the system menu, enter:

consoleSpeed

3At the prompt, enter the baud setting for the Console port. The system supports these baud settings: 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200.

The system changes the settings and displays this message:

Changing the baud rate may cause a loss of communication since you are currently connected via the serial port.

Are you sure you want to change the baud rate? (y/n):

4Enter y (for yes) or n (for no) at the prompt.

If you enter y, the baud setting is changed immediately, and you lose the ability to communicate on the Console port until you adjust the baud setting of your terminal or terminal emulator to match.

If you enter n, the baud setting does not change and you return to the previous menu.

Configuring the IP Interface

These instructions include information on how to define an IP interface through which you can manage your Switch 3900 system. An IP interface contains the following parameters:

IP address — This address, which is specific to your network, is used to manage the system. The IP address defines both the number of the network to which the interface is attached and its host number on that network.

Subnet mask — This 32-bit number uses the same format and representation as an IP address. The subnet mask determines which bits in the IP address are interpreted as the network number, as the subnet number, and as the host number. Each IP address bit that corresponds to a 1 in the subnet mask is in the network and subnet part of the address. Each IP address bit that corresponds to a 0 is in the host part of the IP address.

To set the IP interface parameters:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface define

2Enter the IP address of the interface.

3Enter the subnetwork mask of the subnet to which the interface is to be connected.

4Enter the interface type as VLAN.

For more detailed instructions on assigning interface parameters, see the SuperStack II Switch 3900 and 9300 Administration Guide.
