Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
Installing the Switch
7. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch
The switch has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing
switch management tasks including the following:
Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity statistics
Modify the switch’s configuration to optimize switch performance,
enhance network traffic control, and improve network security
Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
Download new software to the switch
Add passwords to control access to the switch from the console, web
browser interface, and network management stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
Out-of-band: The switch comes with a serial cable for connecting a PC
or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console, directly to the switch.The
console cable is a DB-9 to RJ45 connector.
In-Band: Access the console using Telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that
you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using
either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp. For more
information on IP addressing and on starting a Telnet session, see
chapter 3, “Configuring the Switch”, and the Management and Con-
figuration Guide, which is available on the ProCurve Networking Web
site, www.procurve.com.
The Switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session
through the Console Port and one in-band Telnet console session.
Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either
one to operate with these settings:
any baud rate from 1200 to 115200 (the switch senses the speed)
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
For the Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and C
trl Keys for Windows” option
For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter.
