Console Port

The Console port is used to establish a management session with the switch to configure its features and parameter settings. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch and must use the management cable included with the switch.

To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the Console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector, using the provided management cable. The cable has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.

The Console port is set to the following specifications:

ˆDefault baud rate: 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)

ˆData bits: 8

ˆParity: None

ˆStop bits: 1

ˆFlow control: None

Note

These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program.
