You also need to verify you've got everything hooked up correctly. You may or may not need a null-modem cable, depending on the pinout of the serial port on your switch.

Sorry, just a little more information. When I run minicom from the command line I get the error:- Minicom WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults No termcap entry for linux. - I tried installing the libtcap.lrp package but it didn't make any difference.-Scott Scott said:Sorry, mistype. Replace "getty" below with "minicom". I'm using the one from thc. -Scott Scott said:Hi, My leaf box is basically a little celeron on an intel mobo with a cdrom and floppy. It has 1 serial port which I need to use to connect through an EIA 232 serial cable to configure my switch vlan. /var/log/messages shows on boot: firewall kernel: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A firewall kernel: ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A I'm using bering rc4. So far, my attempts at using getty haven't resulted in a connection to the switch through either of these ports noted above. Can someone suggest some settings or a command line I should try in light of my configuration. The switch requires 9600,8,n,1 settings, typical switch management. Or, am I on the wrong track here? -Scott
