Accessing the SNMP Agent
Connecting to the Administrative Interface
This section provides instructions for connecting a terminal to the console port on the
right-hand side of the front panel of the switch. The terminal must be used for the initial
setup of the SNMP Agent software and may be used to test the connection to the
network management station.
Cabling
The console port is a serial port with a male DB-9 connector and a DTE-type pinout.
To connect this to another DTE-type serial port (as found on most computers and
terminals) a null modem cable is required.
Communication Parameters
The Administrative Interface port is configured at the factory with the following
communication parameters:
• 9600 baud
• No parity
• Eight data bits
• One stop bit
