Login Device

By default, AsterNOS devices support login through both the serial console and SSH (Secure Shell).

When initially logging into the switch, you will need to use the console port (referred to as the serial port below) to establish a connection. After configuring the management interface’s IP address, you can then use SSH to log into the switch. Local login via the serial console is the fundamental method for accessing the device, and it forms the basis for configuring other login methods. The specific steps are as follows:

This series of switches utilize RJ-45 connectors for serial console connections. The distribution of serial console ports varies among different models. Generally, they can be found on the front panel of the device, while some might be located on the rear panel, often marked with the label “CON.”

After the device is powered on, connect the switch’s serial console port to a server or PC. It’s important to ensure that the communication parameter settings of the user terminal match the default configuration of the switch’s serial console to establish communication. The default values for each parameter are as shown in the table below:
