[GLLUG] The old Switcharoo

[Melson, Paul]

It may not be configured for bootp.  I would imagine that whoever deployed and managed it would probably set a static address for remote management/SNMP/RMON.  I think your best bet is going to be the console.  Unless the factory default is to use bootp and you can perform a factory reset from a button or a jumper on or inside the chassis, you may be chasing your tail.
 
A great reference for making your own console cables is available here:  http://www.bnc.ch/support/techlibrary/serial_cables

	thanks for the quick reply, i had found that pdf while searching for information on this thing...  However i cant seem to find out what the ip is, ive tried using dhcp to give it an ip on boot up, i think it needs bootp to do that though and im not quite sure how.  Also when i do get it an ip what do i do? just telnet to that ip from any of the ethernet ports or the com port? I have no experience with enterprise switches but im interested in learning.
