Switch Management Concepts

Hardware components in the Switch allow it to be an
active part of a manageable network. These components
include a CPU, memory for data storage, other related
hardware, and SNMP agent firmware. Activities on the
Switch can be monitored with these components, while the
Switch can be manipulated to carry out specific tasks.
Diagnostic (console) port (RS-232 DCE)
Out-of-band management requires connecting a terminal,
such as a VT-100 or a PC running terminal emulation
program (such as HyperTerminal, which is automatically
installed with Microsoft Windows) a to the RS-232 DCE
console port of the Switch. Switch management using the
RS-232 DCE console port is called
Local
Console
Management
to differentiate it from management done via
management platforms, such as D-View, HP OpenView, etc.
The console port is set for the following configuration:
◊
Baud rate: 9,600
◊
Data width: 8 bits
◊
Parity: none
◊
Stop bits: 1
◊
Flow Control None
Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make
this connection is configured to match these settings.
If you are having problems making this connection on a
PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100 or ANSI. If
you still don’t see anything, try hitting <Ctrl> + r to
refresh the screen.
