Connecting the Switch to a Terminal
1. Connect the serial cable to the terminal (console) ASCII DTE RS-232.
2. Connect the serial cable to the switch’s serial port.
3. If you are configuring a stack, connect the interface cable to the serial port of the Master switch.
1. Connect the serial cable to the terminal (console) ASCII DTE RS-232.
2. Connect the serial cable to the switch’s serial port.
3. If you are configuring a stack, connect the interface cable to the serial port of the Master switch.
Console Connection
1. Turn on the switch (or stack) and wait until the startup is complete.
NOTE: If you are installing a stack of switches, connect the terminal to the Master Switch. This switch lights
the Master Switch LED. When a stack is powered up for the first time, the switches elect the Master Switch, which
may occupy any location in the stack. If you connect the terminal to a subordinate switch, you cannot use the CLI
through the subordinate’s serial interface.
2. If the admin has not configured a login authentication method, then the console> prompt displays
when the switch boots up. Otherwise, the user is presented with the User: login prompt.
NOTE: The following steps assume that the admin user and password is configured on the system.
3. Type admin at the prompt, and press <Enter>.
The Password: prompt now displays.
4. Enter the password, which displays as asterisks (*).
The console# prompt now displays.
5. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.
6. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.
