Starting a Local Management Session
To establish a local management session with an AT-9400 Series switch,
connect a terminal or a computer with a terminal emulator program to the
terminal port on the front panel of the switch, using the management cable
included with the switch.
Note the following before starting a local management session:
ˆ Starting a local management session on a master switch of an
enhanced stack allows you to easily transition to the other switches in
the same stack. For further information, refer to “Enhanced Stacking
Overview” on page 90.
ˆ Starting a local management session on a slave switch, a switch with
an enhanced stacking status of unavailable, or a switch that is not part
of an enhanced stack gives you management access to just that
switch.
ˆ A switch does not need a routing interface or an IP address to be
managed locally.
