The getting starting guide has console connectivity information in it for connecting to the console port...
http://secure.enterasys.com/support/manuals/hardware/2552_22.pdf If the unit has a flash card, you will need to have that installed in the upper PCMCIA slot... (slot 0 I believe) If the unit has not flash card, you will need to tftp an image to it via the en0 port on the front... That will require some extra configuration via your console connection at the bootprom level to make it happen... There should be documents in the enterasys knowledgebase to assist with that... ________________________________________ From: Mamabolo, Pheko [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 8:30 AM To: Enterasys Customer Mailing List Subject: [enterasys] Console management access assistance request.
