Device Initialization Configuration

By default, both serial console-based login and SSH-based login are supported on AsterNOS appliances.

The first time you log in to the switch, you need to log in from the Console port (hereinafter referred to as the serial port), and you can log in to the switch via SSH after configuring the management port IP. Local login through the serial port is the most basic way to log in to the device, and it is also the basis for configuration through other login methods.

Among them, CX102S devices generally use the service port of ethernet1 as the management port because they do not have a dedicated management port.

Connect the Lines

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:

Parameter	Default Value
Baud Rate	115200
Flow Control Method	No flow control
Verification Method	No verification
Data Bits	8
Stop Bits	1
