3.3 Administration Console

The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system

administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration

console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch's console

(serial) port.

Figure 3-1-1: Console Management

Direct Access

Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a

terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal ) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port. When using this

management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After making this connection,
configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:

The default parameters are:

115200 bps

8 data bits

No parity

1 stop bit
