Unable to console with 2524

[Gonzo Granello]

This is a chronical, know problem with almost all ProCurve switches. HP just needs to fix it. In the meantime the only real solution is to pull the power....

@ Gonzo,

I would not say that this is a problem with all Procurve switches I have only seen it on the 2300 and 2500 series frequently and on the 4100 series sporadicly.

The problem is more likely to be Hyperterminal, because when I switch to TeraTermPro I have no problems whatsoever contacting the switches over the consoleport. And of course using the correct settings.

I agree with Scooter. I have seen the same with Nortel switches. Generally, I only console to the switch during initial setup and have always made is standard operating proceedure to spark up Hyperterm before powering up the switch. Once the switch is in service, I seldom if ever find a need to Hyperterm to it.
