Which is just what this Linksys POE router SRW224P needs. I used a generic USB to serial comport bought at aliexpress for 2 dollars.Īnd a universal DB9 female to female gender changer (which acts as a ground-to-ground 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8 9-9 nullmodem. I did not have the ciorect terminal cable lying around.
Now, you have erased the configuration file and you should be able to reboot and login with the default username and password. Type startup-config (be sure that this is the ONLY file that you delete – if you delete other files, you will have to reload the firmware). The advice is to connect to the console port using terminal emulation parameters (typically 38400, 8, 0, 1, None). And, no, it's not the default! So, my only option is serial (to perform a password reset, but that doesn't seem to be working in the slightest.Īny further suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This is with using the aforementioned serial settings as well as the following (I found both in official documentation): Bits per second: 115200īy connecting directly to the switch via ethernet and changing my IP to the same subnet as the original IP of the switch I can connect via the web interface, but do not have the password. I have tried a random serial cable and the aforementioned Tripp Lite null modem cable with my Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter (both ZTerm and screen), and get nothing, no matter how many times I tap enter/return (okay, I haven't tested all the possibilities there). Any other ways to get into this that I'm not thinking of? since I'd like to keep the correct cable with this switch from now on. I can get all crazy if I have to, but that's a lot of effort for something I could just buy a cable for, esp. So, should I need a null modem cable like the Tripp Lite P450-006 Null Modem Gold Cable DB9F/F - 6ft or something else? Unfortunately, the former admin ditched the box & cables. I must admit that I'm usually lucky and what cables I have tend to work, but not this time. This Cisco/Linksys switch has a DB-9 male console port and I dug out a female-to-female DB9 serial cable, but I have no idea whether it's a null modem cable or not and it doesn't seem to work using the official serial port settings for the SRW2024P: Bits per second: 38400 I'm used to controlling Cisco gear through the console port from my Mac using screen or ZTerm and a Tripp Lite (née Keyspan) USB-to-Serial adapter, but have the benefit of being up to my neck in Cisco's blue DB9-to-RJ45 console cables. Now it's on a new subnet and I need to control it via console port.
Some idiot (one guess as to who) installed a Cisco/Linksys SRW2024P in a 2nd location and forgot to change the IP before doing so.
