3COM Switch question
Hey guys I have a stackload of 3COM switches which I want to stick on ebay problem is the previous own has configured the switches so they wont work when I try and plug them on our network which is using DHCP.
I want to break into the switches and look at the config but the problem is I have never done this before I have a V2 Console Cable which is Female serial one end (attaches to switch) and the other end is a RJ4 Connector although on closer inspection the cables are orange, red, brown and black,
The idea is to use a packet sniffer to find out what the I.P address of the switch is. I don't have a null modem cable and the V2 cable is the only one I have is this the right cable I need?
Can somenbody walk me through the process of connecting the switch so I can administrate it I am using windows.
Many Thanks
