Hello community,
A few day back I got my new (used) HP ProCurve 2915-8G-PoE Switch, which I will be using for my local home/office network. I am really exited as this is my first L2 and L3 manageable swich I’ve ever owned. I want to take advantage of the truncking capabilities of this switch, as well as some other security features. Unfortunately I cannot connect to the management console; I bought a CISCO RJ45-DB9 cable so I could connect with a VT emulator through the serial port on an old computer I have here at home. Unfortunately I cannot make a connection to the console. I’m currently using PUTTY as the VT emulator with the serial port set to COM1 and the speed to 9600, I have no clue what I’m doing wrong. Is this the correct speed for this switch?
