Console Port
The console port is used to configure the features and parameter settings of the switch. This type of
management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it
is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the
switch and use a cable that has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.
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, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector.
The console port is set 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.
