Connecting a management consoleThe switch has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing switch management tasks including:
NOTE: After installing and power up the switch, to use a networked (In-band or out of-band) connection to manage the switch, user can use the out-of-band console connection to minimally configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask. By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address VIA DHCP. See “Aruba 2920 Switch Series - Minimal Configuration Through the Console Port Connection ” onpage 3-2 for more information. To connect a console to the switch, use the RJ-45 console cable shipped with the switch. Alternatively, user can use a USB cable (Not supplied) for a console connection. (See USB Console Port Notes below.) Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal to either of the Console ports. The connected PC or terminal then functions as a management console connected directly to the switch. The switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session, through one of the console ports, and in-band Telnet console sessions. The console ports are used only for out-of-band management, not for Telnet sessions. USB console port notes
