Console Port
There are two console ports on the switch. These ports are used to connect a
console to the switch. The one port uses the serial cable supplied with the
switch and the other port uses a MicroUSB cable which is not supplied with
the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a Console to the
Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the 5400R zl2 Switches”. The console is a full-
featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot
the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device emulating a VT-
100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.
Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Port
This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the
switch.
To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage
an HP 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX worksta-
tion.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be
configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/
Bootp server.
A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows
you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate
management network.
