Accessing the switch for the first time

Setting up the configuration environment

The first time you access the switch you must use a console cable to connect a console terminal, for example, a PC, to the console port on the switch.

Console cable

A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. It has a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal.
