Before you begin

Note

Note

The ExtremeCloud IQ Controller E3125 must be upgraded to the latest ExtremeCloud IQ firmware before you install the controller on the network.

Obtain a laptop with PuTTY, TeraTerm, or another terminal emulator installed on it. If the laptop does not support RS232 interface, then obtain a USB to RS232 converter cable, which then connects to the RJ45- DB9F cable.

You also need the following information:
  • Admin password
  • Host attributes settings
  • Time settings
  • SNMP settings
  • Data plane settings

About this task

Configure the E3125 from the console port if you have physical access to the controller. Configuration is asynchronous, but you can see the boot up process.

Refer to the ExtremeCloud IQ User Guide on the Extreme Networks Documentation Site for more information.
