Chapter 4 Installation and Setup

Connecting to the Serial Port

Cajun P330 has one serial port on the front of the switch for connecting a terminal, a terminal emulator, or a modem (future) using the supplied adapter.

The RJ-45 port on the front of the switch is labeled “Console”, and may be used to configure the switch using the built-in Command Line Interface (CLI, Terminal Emulation). In the future, this connector will also be used for out-of-band SNMP management, via a modem.

The port settings are as follows:

Baud Rate - 9600 bps

Character Size - 8

Parity - None

Stop Bit - 1

Flow Control - None

We recommend using a VT-100 terminal to enable access to all CLI features.

The terminal connected to the serial port must be configured with the same settings; this setting will work with any PC COM port over a DB9 to RJ45 connector.

Assigning Cajun P330’s IP Stack Address

Note: All Cajun P330 switches are shipped with the same default IP address. In order to ensure that the stack has its own unique IP address in the network, you must change the IP address of the Master Cajun P330 switch in the stack .

Changing the IP Address using Command Line Interface (CLI, Terminal Emulation)

Use the CLI to assign the Cajun P330 stack an IP address and net mask. The CajunView station may establish communications with the stack once this address had been assigned and the stack inserted into the network.

1Establish a serial connection by connecting a terminal to the Master Cajun P330 switch as described in the “Command Line Interface” chapter.

2When the “Welcome to P330” menu appears and you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root

3When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are now in Supervisor Level

4At the prompt, type:

set interface inband <vlan> <ip_address> <netmask> Replace <vlan>, <ip_address> and <netmask> with the VLAN, IP address and net mask of the stack.

5Press Enter to save the IP address and net mask.

6At the prompt, type reset and press Enter to reset the stack. After the Reset, log in again as described above.
