Establishing a Telnet Connection with the Switch (Outband)
Figure 7.2 M460ML-SPV Supervisor Module Fast Ethernet Console Port
Perform the following steps to establish a Telnet connection to the P460 for
configuration:
L You need to assign an outband interface IP address using a direct connection to
the console serial port before you can establish the Telnet session.
L You can configure the Fast Ethernet console port parameters if necessary.
L The outband interface should be on a different subnet from the inband interface.
1 Connect your station to the Fast Ethernet console port (directly or via the
network).
2 Verify that you can communicate with the P460 using “ping” to the outband
interface IP of the P460. If there is no response using the Ping command, check
the IP address and default gateway of both the P460 and the station.
3 Start a Telnet session:
— From the Microsoft Windows
®
taskbar of your PC click Start and then Run
or access the command prompt
