Huawei:VRP

Versatile Routing Platform for Huawei network devices.

Basics

Connecting via Console [Windows]

1. Plug a Console cable into the Cisco switch and connect the cable to your laptop/whatever. Best type of cable to use is USB to Console;
2. Check Windows "Device Manager" - "Ports (COM & LPT)" to view what COM port is in use;
3. Use a Serial client (such as Putty) to connect to the switch by filling in the correct COM port;
4. In the opened CLI, you may have to press Enter to see the first CLI output.

You may have to modify the Serial interface settings in your Serial client depending on the switch you're connecting with.
