Manually
Configuring IP
Information
You can manually configure the Switch IP information in the following
way:
■ Connecting to the console port — Connect a workstation using a
console cable to the console port of the Switch. You can then
manually enter IP information using the command line interface (CLI).
Connecting to the
Console Port
To set up your Switch manually you can make a connection to the console
port (this example describes a local connection to the console port, rather
than a remote one via a modem). You can do this whilst the Switch is
offline, that is, before you connect the Switch to a network, or whilst the
Switch is online, that is, connected to a network.
Pre-requisites
■ A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as
Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate
with the Switch via the console port directly.
■ Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.
■ The RJ-45 to RS-232 cable supplied with the Switch.
You can find the pin-out diagram for this cable in
Appendix B
on
page 69
.
■ You need to have the following so that you can manually set up the
Switch with IP information:
■ IP address
■ subnet mask
■ default gateway
