After connecting through console cable the "Lucent Cajun p333t" I see the login prompt but I am not able to write, it does not response at my keyboard keys, nor the enter. I connect using RJ45 in console port and serial port on my PC using the following configuration: - 9600 Baud - No parity - 8 data bits - 1 stop bit - No flow control

Maximum Power Consumption is rated at 150W

open up internet exploer on any machine and type ip address into the url bar the default is usually 192.168.1.1 but yours maybe different to know your ip address open up your command prompt and type in ipconfig
to open your command prompt in windows xp click run from the start menu and type in cmd
if it is Vista then type cmd in the search and choose the first option

cajun switches have pretty similar command structure as cisco. use the ? mark for help.

Not sure what Cat switches you have, but the cajun switch must use the same trunking encapsulation.  Older catalyst switches use ISL trunking which only work with Cisco switches.  Make the port between the lucent and cisco dot1q encapsulation on the cisco trunk port.  Also turn on debugging on the cisco and see what messages are generated.

All info from juliankov appears good.. but thought I'd add a bit of stuff I found on a web site..

Use a console cable with following minimum pinout (the flat gray one with the RJ45- D9 type converter currently shipping with new P33xx switches will suffice): DB9 Console Port
1 ----------- 6
2 ----------- 3
3 ----------- 2
4 ----------- 4
5 ----------- 5
6
7 ----------- 8
8 ----------- 7
9

Obviously the speed is set to 9600
maybe stop all sessions & try to re-establish a new one. The instruction manual warns u can only run one..

The login you are using should have placed you in super-user mode. Are you connected directly to the switch with a serial console cable?

This is from the Cajun P333R manual but it should be very similar if not identical.

Good Luck.

arp timeout Command
Use the arp timeout command to configure the amount of time that an entry
remains in the ARP cache. To restore the default value, 14400, use the no form of
this command.
The syntax for this command is: arp timeout <seconds>
The syntax for the no form of this command is: no arp timeout <seconds>
Examples:
To set the arp timeout to one hour:
Router(configure)# arp timeout 3600
To restore the default arp timeout:
Router(configure)# no arp timeout
ip-address IP address, in dotted decimal format, of the station
hardware-address 48-bit address of the local data link
seconds The amount of time, in seconds, that an entry
remains in the arp cache.

it is reseting because it dosent have a lot of branwith

After changing all the necessary parameters using the CLI, use the write command to save your system configuration. If you receive any error messages, your configuration has not been saved. You must correct the errors and re-issue the write command. Notification of write errors is presented in a two column display: ? The left column contains the parameter values that you set in this session and need to be changed. ? The right column contains the parameter values currently saved in the Cajun P116. Wait 15 seconds for confirmation of the write process. Then exit Privileged level by typing exit at the prompt. For example, CajunP116-priv# exit. The cursor changes to CajunP116> to indicate that you are in Normal level. Verify that all the parameters were accurately saved by using the show all or show all list command. The Cajun P116 is now ready for cabling and operation. You may exit your CLI session.

Hey Eric, I do use same Avaya switch at my lab at office. To me what you have to do is quite simple, first of all you have to get from your network administrator the following info: - Free IP to assign to the switch - Subnet - Gateway (If you ping such IP from a machine of same subnet, there will not be an answer). Then log as superuser (#) and do this: 1. Type set interface inband Replacing , and with the VLAN, IP address and netmask provided by your network administrator and press Enter. (for VLAN you can list them and decide which one to use, but normally you should use 1) 2. Type reset and press Enter to reset the stack. 3. After the Reset, perform login again as superuser.
4. Type set ip route , replacing and with the destination and gateway IP addresses. (If you want all packets not from your subnet to be send to the gateway, then use 0.0.0.0 as destination, list routes set on device for more info) 5. Press Enter to save the destination and gateway IP addresses. That's all. Your switch will be rechable from your same subnet and from other networks if your gateway is working properly and there's no other element blocking you the access. Good Luck!
