Allied Telesis AT-9424T/POE, AT-9408LC/SP manual Starting a Local Management Session

Chapter 2: Installing the Switch

Starting a Local Management Session

The procedure in this section explains how to start a local (out-of-band) management session using the RJ-45 terminal port on the switch. You can use a local management session to configure the switch’s operating parameters and view performance and error statistics.

Note

If your network already has an enhanced stack of Allied Telesis Layer 2 or Layer 2+ switches, you might be able to initially manage the new switch by connecting, locally or remotely, to the master switch of the stack and changing to the new switch through the management software. For overview information on enhanced stacking, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software Features Guide.

To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:

1.Connect the RJ-45 end of the management cable included with the AT-9400 Switch to the Terminal Port on the front panel of the switch, as shown in Figure 29.
