You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the console port. After you assign an IP address,
you can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor.
Complete the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console (RJ45 serial port) of the device.
To connect the console port to a DB-9 port, you need an RJ45 to DB-9 adapter.
For information about locating the serial port, refer to Network and management interfaces on
page 14.
The serial port has an RJ45 connector. For port pinout information, refer to Pinouts and signalling
on page 94.
NOTE
You must run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:
• ‐ Baud: 9600 bps
‐ Data bits: 8
‐ Parity: None
‐ Stop bits: 1
‐ Flow control: None
The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or
SNMP workstation. When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to
display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window, as shown in the following example.
device>
If you see this prompt, you are connected to the system and can proceed to the “Password
assignment” task.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
If you do not see the prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the
Brocade system.
Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously configured
session settings, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you
attached to the Brocade system.
