3-2 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING MANAGEMENT ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM
In-band or
Out-of-band?
By default, the Switch 2200 system provides in-band management through
its Ethernet and FDDI ports. In-band management, management using the
same network that carries regular data traffic, is often the most convenient
and inexpensive way to access your system. If you are using a dedicated
network for management data, then you are managing your network
out-of-band.
If Spanning Tree is enabled and the port is in the blocking state, in-band
management is not functional.
Setting Up the
Console
Serial Port
The default baud rate for the Console serial port is 9600. You might need to
change the baud rate to match the port speed on your terminal.
Baud rate changes take effect immediately after you confirm the change.
Adjust the baud rate of your terminal or terminal emulator appropriately to
re-establish communication using the console serial port.
To set the baud rate for the Console serial port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
system consoleSpeed
2 Enter the baud rate for the serial port.
The system supports the following baud rates: 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400,
1200, and 300.
If you are connected to the Console serial port when you set the baud rate
for that serial port, the following message is displayed:
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):
If you respond y (yes), the baud rate is changed immediately. At this time,
you lose the ability to communicate on the serial port unless you adjust the
baud rate of your terminal or terminal emulator (tip) appropriately. If you
respond
n (no), the baud rate does not change, and the previous menu is
displayed.
