Console Port
The Console port is a USB connector located on the front panel. See
Figure 1 on page 19 for its location. It is used to locally configure the
features and parameter settings of the switch. This type of management
uses the RS-232 serial communications protocol. It is commonly referred
to as local or out-of-band management because it is not connected over
an Ethernet network. To perform local management, you must be at the
location of the switch and must use the management cable included with
the switch.
Note
Refer to “Console Port Pinouts” on page 93 for USB pin orientation
and the signal functions assigned to each pin.
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 using the management cable provided with the switch. This
cable has a USB connector on one end and a DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin)
connector on the other.
The Console port is configured at the factory 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.
