Quick-Start to Managing the BayStack 350 Switch
If you are already familiar with managing network devices, you can use the
Quick-Start procedures in this section to set up and begin managing the BayStack
350 switch. Before you begin these procedures, make sure that the BayStack 350
switch has been installed and verified (as described in Chapter 2, “Installing the
BayStack 350 Switch”), and that the network cables are attached to the switch.
This section describes how to manage the BayStack 350 switch using one of two
methods:
• The console/service port interface, using the CI menus and screens
• An SNMP management application
Console/Service Port Interface
If you are managing the BayStack 350 switch using the console/service port
interface, follow these steps:
1.
Connect a console terminal directly to the BayStack 350 switch console/
service port or through a modem connection.
The console terminal can be a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running
VT100 terminal-emulation software (see “Console/Service Port Cabling”
on page 3-2).
2.
Configure the console terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit.
Be sure to set the console terminal to online mode; do not leave it in setup
mode.
3.
Press [Ctrl]+C on the console terminal keyboard.
4.
The CI main menu opens.
For more information about the CI main menu, see “Using the CI Menus and
Screens” on page 3-4.
Note:
The console/service port is configured as a data communications
equipment (DCE) connector. Ensure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are
configured for DCE connections (see “DB-9 (RS-232-D) Console/Service Port
Connector” on page C-5).
