Configuring the IP Interface 5-3
Setting the Console Port Baud
To change the baud setting of the Console port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, at
the Select menu option prompt, enter:
system
2 At the system menu, enter:
consoleSpeed
3 At the prompt, enter the baud setting for the Console
port. The system supports these baud settings:
19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200.
The system changes the settings and displays this
message:
Changing the baud rate may cause a loss of
communication since you are currently connected
via the serial port.
Are you sure you want to change the baud rate?
(y/n):
4 Enter y (for yes) or n (for no) at the prompt.
If you enter y, the baud setting is changed
immediately, and you lose the ability to communicate
on the Console port until you adjust the baud setting
of your terminal or terminal emulator to match.
If you enter n, the baud setting does not change and
you return to the previous menu.
Configuring the IP Interface
These instructions include information on how to
define an IP interface through which you can manage
your Switch 3900 system. An IP interface contains the
following parameters:
■ IP address — This address, which is specific to
your network, is used to manage the system. The
IP address defines both the number of the network
to which the interface is attached and its host
number on that network.
■ Subnet mask — This 32-bit number uses the
same format and representation as an IP address.
The subnet mask determines which bits in the IP
address are interpreted as the network number, as
the subnet number, and as the host number. Each
IP address bit that corresponds to a 1 in the subnet
mask is in the network and subnet part of the
address. Each IP address bit that corresponds to a 0
is in the host part of the IP address.
To set the IP interface parameters:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console,
enter:
ip interface define
2 Enter the IP address of the interface.
3 Enter the subnetwork mask of the subnet to which
the interface is to be connected.
4 Enter the interface type as VLAN.
For more detailed instructions on assigning interface
parameters, see the SuperStack II Switch 3900 and
9300 Administration Guide.
