HP Advanced Services v2 zl Module Installation Guide

3 Initially connecting and configuring
This chapter describes how to connect to the switch, configure the switch for the module, and then
perform initial module configuration. Finally, information on restarting and resetting the module is
provided.
Connect to the switch
Although full information on the switch CLI (command line interface) is provided in the switch
documentation, the basic switch CLI commands needed to work with the module are provided in
this document.
NOTE: Although not described in this document, it is also possible to perform switch configuration
through a telnet or ssh session with an Ethernet connection to the switch.
1. Using a serial console cable, connect a computer to the serial port of the switch Management
Module.
2. On the computer, configure a serial terminal program in VT100 mode, with Baud rate 9600,
8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
3. Open a terminal session with the switch and press Enter several times until the welcome screen
appears. (One of the following screen appears depending on whether you have configured
a login to the module.)
