Initial Management Access
After your switch has completed all power on self-tests, it is operational. You can log in and configure 
an IP address for the default VLAN (named default). 
NOTE
In BlackDiamond switches, the management port on the MSM is part of the management VLAN by default. Refer to 
 for further details. 
Connecting Equipment to the Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for direct local management. The console port settings are:
Baud rate—9600 
Data bits—8 
Stop bit—1 
Parity—None
Flow control—XON/XOFF 
The terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software that you connect to an Extreme Networks switch 
must be configured with these settings. This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with 
the terminal.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier, or you can make your own. To ensure the 
electromagnetic compatibility of the unit, use only shielded serial cables. For information about the DB-
9 console plug connector, see
