Configuring Basic Connectivity

You can connect the serial console port to a PC serial port for local administrative access to the switch. A terminal emulation software product, such as HyperTerminal, makes communication between your switch and your PC possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a PC, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC terminal emulation program to match the following management port default characteristics:

•Baud: 9600 bps

•Data Bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop Bits: 1

Step 2 Connect the supplied DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or DB-25/RJ-45 female adapter (depending on your PC connection) to the PC serial port.

Step 3 Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a flat rollover RJ-45 cable) to the serial console port. (See Figure 3-7and Figure 3-8.) Connect the other end to the DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or DB-25/RJ-45 adapter at the PC serial port.

After you connect the serial console port, you may configure a static IP address for the Ethernet management interface by following these steps:

Step 1 Wait for the login prompt.

Login:

Step 2 Enter the username and password. The default username is super, and the default password is super.

Login: super

Password: super

Step 3 Enter the enable command.

SFS-7000D> enable

SFS-7000D #

Step 4 Enter the configure command to enter the configuration mode.

SFS-7000D # configure

SFS-7000D(config)#

Step 5 Enter the interface mgmt-ethernetcommand to enter the config-if-mgmt-ethernet mode.

SFS-7000D(config)#interface mgmt-ethernet

SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)#

Step 6 Enable the static address option, which turns off the default-enabled DHCP.

SFS-7000D(config)#address-option static

Step 7 Enter the IP address of the management interface, followed by the netmask, which enables the optional static address.

SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address ip address netmask
