Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
If you use a management console with different configuration settings, be sure
to reconfigure the settings on both the terminal and the switch in the following
order so that both configurations are compatible:
1. Reconfigure the switch and save the new settings.
2. Reconfigure the terminal and save the new settings.
3. Reboot the switch and re-establish the console session.
Setting Up a Console Connection
To access the Switch through an Console port (out-of-band) connection,
follow these steps:
1. Configure the management console as described in “Configuring the
Management Console”.
2. For a direct console connection, connect the PC or terminal to the
Console serial port using the console cable shipped with the switch:
• A DB9-to-RJ45 adapter is shipped with the Switch.
3. Power on the management
console (terminal or PC). If
you are using a PC, start the
PC terminal program.
4. For a direct console connec-
tion through the Console port:
a. Press Enter two or three
times to display the copy-
right page and the
message “Press any key to
continue”.
b. Press any key to display
the switch console
command (CLI) prompt;
for example: HP E3800#
c. Continue the console
session to configure the
switch by following the procedure in “Minimal Configuration Through
the Out-of-Band Console Connection” on page 3-2.
