Console Port

The console port is used to configure the features and parameter settings of the switch. This type of
management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it
is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the
switch and use a cable that has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.

To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a terminal or a personal computer with a
terminal emulation program to the console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector.

The console port is set to the following specifications:

Default baud rate: 9600 bps (range is 9600 to 115200 bps)

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Note

These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program.
