There should be a serial port located on the front of the unit. Plug a null modem cable in and use documentation on Extremes site to configure it. By default the switch will work out of the box so there's no config necessary. If you want or need to mange it then you'll need to follow the instructions.

ok thanks, really appreciate some help thank you, in my laptop I have 15 pins and the switch have only 9 I think, is that a problem?

I'm gonna buy a null modem cable 9- 15 pins?

will I then open my browser to see the instructions?

I need to configure it, forward ports and so is that possible like a router or I'm mistaken here...?

Kindly Regards

Get a USB to Serial converter and a null modem cable. As for port forwarding and perhaps NAT features you're going to want to look at a router or a firewall. You can go to Extremes web site and download their ExtremeOS concepts guide that will help you configure the switch.

Can I use this one

?

ohh so I can't assign ports in the switch? (thats what I thinking too)

I look so long time in extreme website without finding any thing, can you please give me a link to the download of "ExtremeOS concepts guide" I will be more than happy..

Kindly Regrads

you can assign ports to VLANs but that's about it. you can't do port forwarding/NAT with something like this. you can find the concepts guide here:

From what I recall, the summit48 runs extremeware, not extreme xos. There is not a web interface for any of the advanced functions. Your best bet is with that USB to serial adapter you linked; but really, it should serve your needs out of the box, or if it is from ebay... after it has been reset to factory defaults.

the extremeware document is on their website, click support & training, then go to technical documentation.


also, that 15pin port on your laptop - its probably your vga video port....

If you are a gamer and require no special configurations on the unit then the Extreme cable is normally required (Purple one) for Console connectivity (not sure what the pinouts would be from a null modem perspective).

If you want remote access to the unit then enable IP routing and assign a Management IP address to the correct VLAN (in this case there will only be VLAN 1 on the box).

I would actually set up a VLAN for Management, assign a port to that VLAN and then apply an IP address. Then connect whatever is going to manage the switch to that port and you will have telnet access.
