Console (RS-232) Port The console (RS-232) port is used only for management through a serial interface. This port provides a direct connection to the switch and is used to access the CLI from a console terminal connected to an EIA/TIA-232 port. To connect from the console port on the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 to a terminal, use the supplied serial cable with a USB Type A connector on one end and a female DB-9 connector on the other end. The console port on the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 is a USB port located on the bottom of the front panel. Note: The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps. Note: If you are installing a stack of switches, you need to assemble and cable the stack before powering up and configuring it. When a stack is powered up for the first time, the switches elect a Master Switch, which may occupy any location in the stack. Connect the terminal to the Master Switch. If you connect the terminal to a subordinate switch, you will not be able to use the CLI. Console Redirect The Dell M1000e Server Chassis includes a console redirect feature that allows you to manage each PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 module from a single serial connection to the chassis. For more information about console redirect, see the Dell Blade Server CMC User's Guide. Note: When you use console redirect to access a module, the external console port on that module is inactive and any current console sessions are terminated.
