Valentine subcluster switches (Nortel 4548GT)
The 4500 series Nortel switches are different from all others. A few hints:
- The serial port setting is 9600 8N1 with NO flow control
- Before the serial port will work, the dip switch on the back of the unit MUST be set to "BASE". If it is set to "Unit select" you will never get any reasonable response out of the serial port!
- Configuration of the unit, except for its own IP address, initally proceeds ONLY over the IP interfaces, NOT the serial console. However, starting the QuickConfiguration utility and then interrupting it with ^C gets you to a reasonable state. Use ^Y again to enter the console mode.

What You Should See
4548GT> Exec commands: enable Turn on privileged commands exit Exit from the EXEC help Description of the interactive help system logout Exit from the EXEC and end the current session ping Send echo messages show Show running system information telnet Telnet to another host terminal Set terminal line parameters
Proposed Configuration
Configure trunk using LACP, and run both VLAN 9 and VLAN 4 tagged over this trunk. The management interface of the switch can be assigned to VLAN4 and then configured with the ip address of the switch using:
vlan mgmt 4 ip address 172.20.X.Y ip address netmask 255.255.0.0 ip default-gateway 172.20.255.254
