Setting Up Console Communication

cable with which to connect most PCs to this port. The console port settings are as follows:

Baud rate	9600
Data bits	8
Stop bit	1
Parity	None
Flow control	None

Each interface has a unique IP address. Before you can start a Telnet session, you must set up the IP parameters of the port you will use for management, as described in the following sections. To open the Telnet session, you specify the IP address of the port.

For information on how to do this, refer to the documentation for your Telnet facility.

After the connection is established, you will see the command-line interface prompt and can begin configuring the device.

Configuring Switch IP Parameters

To manage the application switch by way of a Telnet connection to the Gigabit Ethernet port, you must first configure the switch IP parameters. To manually configure the IP settings, follow these steps:

1Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the serial management (console) port. See “Setting Up Console Communication” on page 2-6.

2Configure the system IP address and default gateway. The following example sets the address for the Gigabit Ethernet interface:

SummitPx1:4 # config system-ip 64.1.1.10 / 24 vlan 123 SummitPx1:5 # config default-gateway 64.1.1.1

The vlan argument is optional for the SummitPx1, but required for the PxM. See “Managing the PxM” on page 4-7, and “Configuring VLANs” on page 4-8.

3Enable the Gigabit port, commit changes, and save your configuration changes to flash memory, so that they are in effect after the next reboot.

SummitPx1:8 # enable port gigabit SummitPx1:11 # build SummitPx1:17 # save
