A Serial port specifications Serial port specifications The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The Brocade 5100 uses an RJ-45 connector for the serial port. NOTE To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use. The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port's parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None. This connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the switch to its factory default settings if Flash memory contents are lost. The serial port is not intended for performance of normal administration or maintenance functions. You should only use this port to connect a terminal to the port to re-initialize the switch defaults, restoring the switch to its factory configuration. This is required to restore switch passwords to a known state and allow you to assign an IP address to the switch. Table 11 lists the serial cable pinouts.
