NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you can Telnet into the system. Therefore,
use a console connection when connecting to the system for the first time. Before starting this procedure, be sure that you
have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC.
NOTE: If you are configuring a stack of switches, serial console access to the stack manager is available from any serial port
using the local CLI. Only one serial console session at a time is supported.
To access the console port, follow these steps.
1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. To connect the console port to a terminal server, use a rollover cable.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3 Set the default terminal settings as follows.
• 9600 baud rate.
• No parity.
• Eight data bits.
• One stop bit.
• No flow control.
