Chapter 3 Installing the Switches
Configuring Basic Connectivity
You can connect the serial console port to a PC serial port for local administrative access to the switch.
A terminal emulation software product, such as HyperTerminal, makes communication between your
switch and your PC possible during setup and configuration.
To connect the console port to a PC, follow these steps:
Step 1 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC terminal emulation program to match the
following management port default characteristics:
• Baud: 9600 bps
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
Step 2 Connect the supplied DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or DB-25/RJ-45 female adapter (depending on your
PC connection) to the PC serial port.
Step 3 Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a flat rollover RJ-45 cable) to the serial console port.
(See Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8.) Connect the other end to the DB-9/RJ-45 female adapter or
DB-25/RJ-45 adapter at the PC serial port.
After you connect the serial console port, you may configure a static IP address for the Ethernet
management interface by following these steps:
Step 1 Wait for the login prompt.
Login:
Step 2 Enter the username and password. The default username is super, and the default password is super.
Login: super
Password: super

Step 5 Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command to enter the config-if-mgmt-ethernet mode.
SFS-7000D(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet
SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)#
Step 6 Enable the static address option, which turns off the default-enabled DHCP.
SFS-7000D(config)# address-option static
Step 7 Enter the IP address of the management interface, followed by the netmask, which enables the optional
static address.
SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address ip address netmask
