Configure the Management Interface via Console Port

Learn how to configure the controller management interface using the console port.

About this task

Configure the controller management interface via console port during initial setup.

Note

The E2122 must be upgraded to the latest Extreme Campus Controller firmware before installing the controller on the network.

Procedure

Connect the serial port of the laptop to the E2122 console port.
If the laptop does not support RS232 interface then obtain a USB to RS232 converter cable, which then connects to the RJ45-DB9F cable.
Using PuTTY, TeraTerm, or another terminal emulator, connect to the serial port connection.
Ensure that your serial connection is set properly:
- 115200 baud
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- Parity none
- Flow control none
Using the console session, perform the following:
1. At the password prompt, type user: admin
2. For the initial password, type: abc123
3. Press Enter
Read the configuration script paragraph.
The configuration script will walk you through configuring the following information:
- Admin Password
- Host Attributes Settings
- Time Settings
- SNMP Settings
- Data Plane Settings
At the end of each session, if you enter Yes, the next session will begin.
If you answer No, the session configuration is repeated.
Press ENTER.
After the final session is applied, the Appliance Post Installation Configuration Menu opens.
Type A to apply settings and exit or a number for repeating the setup.
Connect to a port on which management access was enabled during the CLI Wizard Setup.
Open a web browser and type the following in the address bar: https://Your_Mgmt_Ipaddress:5825.
The Extreme Campus Controller login screen is displayed.
Log in, as follows:
- Username: admin
- Password: abc123 or the password that was created when setting up the installation wizard
Note
An installation wizard is available to help configure the E2122 for new deployments. Refer to the Extreme Campus Controller User Guide on the documentation site for more information.
