Configuring the Switch
Note
To run the system configuration dialog, you must first connect the switch to a PC
to run a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to the PC: either
through the switch console port or through the DRAC/MC console port.
Instructions for these procedures are included in this section.
If you connect to the switch through the DRAC/MC, the switch console port is
disabled. After you have completed the configuration procedure, you must use the
disconnect command to close the active console port and re-enable the switch
console port. Type logout to log out of the switch, then enter Ctrl \ to disconnect
the DRAC/MC from the switch.
Follow one of these procedures:
•
To run the terminal emulation program through the switch console port, go to
“Connecting through the Switch Console Port” section on page 12
.
•
To run the terminal emulation program through the DRAC/MC port, go to
“Connecting through the DRAC/MC” section on page 14
