Cisco IE 3000 Switch Getting Started Guide
Using the Switch Console Port:
Follow these steps:
1. Connect the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable (console cable) to the
standard 9-pin serial port on the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the
console port on the switch.
2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 bits per second, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Use the CLI to enter commands to configure the switch. See the software
configuration guide and the command reference for more information.
Other Management Options
You can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management
applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution (SNMS)
and HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it
from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP
OpenView or SunNet Manager.
