Chapter 9: Troubleshooting

Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session

If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch through the Console RS-232 port on the active master controller card, do the following:

Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active master controller card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.

If the chassis has two controller cards, verify that the management cable is connected to the console port on the active master controller card by examining the M/S LEDs on the cards. The LEDs are solid green on the active master controller card and solid or flashing amber on the standby master controller card.

Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the RJ- 45 serial terminal port are located in “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 184.

Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
