I have a stack of Force 10 MXL switches in an M1000e chassis. I would like to confirm how to gain access via serial cable to these switches. I assume I use a normal 9 pin D-sub to D-sub cable to connect to the serial interface on the chassis controller? From there I assume I can use the "connect switch-n" exactly as I would when connected to the chassis management controller via SSH?
Thanks Daniel. I appear to have a couple of those lying about. I assume they are used to connect directly to the switch? What about a serial connection to the M1000e CMC serial port, and then connecting to the switch?
