problem with managing a switch

[AndyRee]

hi Sirs

I have a problem with managing Cisco ESW-520-24 switch. It is for training purposes only.

So what I used is DB 9 cable to PC using COM3 port. Everything is fine except that it won`t work properly. Once I restart the switch it shows some characters but not proper connection. Will add pictures too. I have tried a different PC, adapters but the problem remains. It is the right port and I have connected router to this PC and it work OK.  Any ideas?

Hi @AndyRee,

As an option, try changing the speed bit per second. By default it is 9600, but that may change and make you see illegible characters.

The downside is that there are several speed options, so you'll have to try each one.

Regards
