Hi Everyone,
I got a cisco switch 3550 series from ebay for my certification (CCNA) which I booted and reset and tested with basic configuration, and it worked well.
I used USB-to-Serial adapter changer for connection between switch console and my laptop.
And tera term terminal setting
baud=9600, data bit=8 , stop bit=1, parity=none and flow control=none.
but after trying to connect the 25pin serial port of my desktop PC to the switch using 25-9pin adapter, the switch wouldn't boot completely and hang/stop at the following display....
"00:00:34: %SYS-5-RESTART: System restarted --
