Managing a Switch” on page 45.
Connecting to the
Console Port
To set up your Switch manually you can alternatively 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.
