Quick Start to Managing the BayStack 350T Switch
If you are already familiar with managing network devices, you can use the Quick
Start procedures provided in this section to set up and begin managing the
BayStack 350T switch. The procedures assume that the BayStack 350T switch
has been installed and verified (as described in Chapter
2, “Installation”), and
your network cables are attached to the switch.
This section describes how to manage the BayStack 350T switch using either of
two methods:
• Through the Service Port Interface, using the CI screens
• Using an SNMP Management Application
Managing through the Service Port Interface
If you are managing the BayStack 350T switch through the service port interface,
follow these steps:
1. Connect a console terminal directly to the BayStack Model 350T service
port or through a modem.
The console terminal can be a VT100 terminal or a PC running VT100
terminal-emulation software (refer to “Service Port Cabling” in Chapter
3,
“Using the Console Interface”).
2. Configure the console terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit.
Be sure to place the console terminal online; do not leave it in setup mode.
3. Press [Ctrl]+C on the console terminal keyboard.
4. The console interface (CI) Main Menu appears on the screen.
For more information about the CI Main Menu, refer to“
Using the CI Menus”
in Chapter
3, “Using the Console Interface.”
