As my first enterprise switches these 4800G's are turning out to be more difficult than expected.
I cannot get any output (or input for that matter) from the the console port. I have made myself a DB-9 to rj45 cable as specified in the manual, but no luck. I have tried 2 known working usb to serial adapters on both windows and linux but that didn't help. As a final resort I had an db-9 to rj45 cable custom made according to the pinout, because I did not trust my soldering, but that also did not help.
I know the switches are currently configured in an IRF cluster, using one of the two 20gb fiber extention cards in each switch, and that it is configured to the ip 192.168.1.10 for the web interface, but setting a static ip in that range for my laptop and trying to connect is also not working.
I hope someone might know what is going on.
