i have a new ex2200 switch which i am trying to get connected (physically) by using the RJ-45 cable with a DB9 female connector on it- came with the switch.
my laptop doesnt have a serial connector. i dont even know if the switch is even good. i do not have a server to get a DHCP address from. i dont have a PC which has a male serial cable either.
all i want to do is get connected so i can run "ezsetup"
i cant get any response - login prompt- from the switch no matter how i connect to it. rj45, serial, etc.
this has got to be the dumbest way to get connected to a switch.
