Console Access
Before you power on the device, you must set up a management console. You use
the console to communicate with the device during the power-on process, to set an
IP address, and to manage the device using the command-line interface (CLI).
You can monitor and manage the device through either of these methods:
■
Console terminal—Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation)
directly to the device's serial
CONSOLE
port.
You can connect a console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly
to the
CONSOLE
terminal port. When you connect a console directly to the device,
you can configure the device without an IP address. To communicate with the
device, you must have a terminal emulation program running on your PC or
Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.
A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.
■
Remote console—Connect 10/100Base-T to the
CONSOLE
port to an Ethernet
network, and run SSH from a remote console.
For initial access to the device, you need to physically connect your console directly
to the device's RJ-45 port. Through this connection you use the CLI to set an IP
address on the device. After you configure the IP address, you can access the device
remotely (for example, through SSH).
Direct Access
When you connect a console directly to the device, use the
CONSOLE
port on the
RJ-45 connector. To connect a console directly to the device:
1.
Connect the male RJ-45 connector to the
CONSOLE
port.
2.
Connect the crossover adapter connector to your PC's serial port.
