Chapter 2: Getting Started with the Menus Interface
Starting a Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with the switch by connecting
a terminal or personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the
the RS-232 console port on the front panel of the switch.
Note
You do not need to assign an IP address to the switch to manage
the unit from a local management session.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of the management cable included with the switch to
the console port on the switch, as shown in Figure 1.
