CSM: connect to console

[mruuth]

Hi all,

I have tried with my normal blue console cable , 9600 and hyperterminal. No success! Is the consoleport at CSM-blade something else?

Your best bet is to use the 6500 console port. The RJ-45 connector, which is covered by a removable plate, is used to connect a management station device or a test device. This connector is used by field engineers to perform testing and to obtain dump information.

Hi,

I want to obtain dump information with commands I have been given from Gilles Dufour.

Mats,

Gilles,

I'm sorry to bother you but do you mean that I shall connect the cable between csm consoleport and ethernetport on a PC? What application shall I use and how do I connect? Telnet to 127.0.0.50 port 23?. I tried to connect console and ethernetport on PC but no link up was the result. Tested with straight and crossed.
