Hi

What do you mean how to connect a modem? Are you talking about modem for internet connection? If yes, connect it using ethernet cable.

Thank you so much, Francesco.

I mean if I should use RS232 serial port to connect to a modem? I need to use a phone number to dail in as the out-of-band access to the switch.

Best Regards,

Vinson

Ok gotcha.
Yes you can connect to your console port and you'll have to configure it.
Take a look on this docs:
