Using the Console Interface
Note that the DES-3624i/DES-3624iF/DES-3624iFM has an RS-232C serial port but the DES-3624/DES-3624F/DES-
3624FM does not.
Choose Configure Console to access the last item on the System Configuration menu. The following screen
appears:
Figure 6-10. Console Options screen
The following fields can be set:
Settings on Restart:
♦
Console Timeout
This setting for the restart of the console is 2 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, or Never.
♦
Serial Port
Determines whether the serial port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) management or for console
management, starting from the next time the Switch is restarted. In this field, you can toggle between SLIPor
Console
port type settings.
♦
Baud Rate
Determines the serial port bit rate that will be used the next time the Switch is restarted. Applies
only when the serial port is being used for out-of-band (SLIP) management; it does not apply when the port is used
for the console port. Available speeds are: 2400, 9600, 19200 and 38400 bits per second. The default setting in this
Switch version is 9600.
The top of the screen displays the current settings for Console Timeout and Serial Port as well as the Baud Rate, Data
Bits, and Stop Bit for Out of Band and Console settings, respectively.
Configure Switch Stack
The Switch Stack Configuration screen shows various pieces of information about your Switch, and allows you to set
the System Name, System Location, and System Contact. These settings can be retrieved from the Switch using SNMP
requests, allowing these settings to be used for network management purposes.
