Setting up the Level 2 GigE switch
Configuring the GigE switch via serial connection
Use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen to set the IP address. The following procedure is for the HP
ProCurve switch, which is required for iSCSI traffic. If you are using a non-HP switch
for non-iSCSI traffic, accomplish the same tasks as appropriate. Consult the
documentation that came with the switch for more information.
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator on the control point PC or another PC as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either one
to operate with these settings:
• Baud rate 115200
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• Also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows”
option
2. Connect the PC to the switch’s Console Port using the console cable included with
the switch. (If your PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, first attach a 9-pin
to 25-pin straight-through adapter at one end of the console cable.)
3. Turn on the PC’s power and start the PC terminal program.
4. Press Enter two or three times and you will see the copyright page and the message
