4.At power on (cold boot), the switch performs a series of self-test diagnostics verifying that hardware components are functioning. An example of the self-test diagnostic screen is shown later in this chapter.

Communication Problems

If the diagnostic list does not appear, or is garbled, try adjusting the baud rates between the console and the switch by using the Autobaud routine within the switch. To do this, press the reset button on the front of the switch and wait for the internal diagnostics to finish (the DIAG LED turns off). The reason for the reset is that in case the switch’s Autobaud routine is not enabled, resetting it will set it to its default mode of Autobaud enabled.

Depending on the type of console, there are several console command keys that will potentially initiate the Autobaud routine in the switch. Four of those keys are RETURN, the combination keys of ALT-B, the BREAK key, and ESC.

After the DIAG LED goes out, try one these command keys at the console, and press it repeatedly. If there is no response, wait several seconds and again, press it repeatedly. If necessary, perform the same routine using the other command keys.
