Using the Console Interface

You can access the switch as needed through the command line interface.

The switch is accessible using the following connectors:

• Summit switches: 9-pin, RS-232 ports.

On a stand-alone switch, the console port is located on the front panel.

Note

For more information on the console port pinouts, see the ExtremeSwitching 5320 Hardware Installation Guide .

After the connection is established, you will see the switch prompt and can now log in.
