Starting a Local Management Session
The procedure in this section explains how to start a local (out-of-band)
management session using the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel
of the switch. You can use a local management session to configure the
switch’s operating parameters and view performance and error
statistics.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of the null modem management cable to the RS-
232 Terminal Port on the front panel of the master switch, as shown
in Figure 32.

232 Terminal Port
Note
You must connect the terminal to the RS-232 port on the master
switch to locally manage a switch stack. You cannot locally manage
a switch stack through a slave switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
a personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
