Configuring the Cajun P550 Switch (Layer 2 & Layer 3)

To configure the supervisor module using the CLI:

1.Attach a serial cable from your PC’s serial port to the serial port of the supervisor module front panel (refer to Figure 3-1) using a 9-pin straight-through male-to-female serial cable (refer to “Switch Features,” earlier in this guide for pinout information).

2.Run a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, for example) on the attached PC. Ensure that the terminal settings match those listed in Table 3-1.

3.Power up the switch by turning on the power supplies. In the terminal emulation program, the switch displays the following startup messages:
