Hello,
I need to configure an Alcatel 6850-24 switch via the console port using RJ45.
The problem is that I don’t know anything about it, not even the IP address of this switch which has already been functioning.
So:
- How to reset this switch
- How to use the console port which is RJ45 (it doesn’t have a COM port connection)
Thank you in advance for your answers

mk-freeradius, it's Alcatel, not Cisco.
To be able to connect to the Alcatel switch console (RJ45), you need a serial-RJ45 adapter that you can connect to your PC.
Do you have the login credentials to connect?

Hello everyone,
I found this topic interesting given my situation.
I'm used to working with Cisco equipment, but it turns out that I am currently dealing with an Alcatel 6850 (OmniSwitch 6850 Stackable Chassis) to be precise.
I would like to know if there is a configuration interface like a terminal server or similar, as there is with Cisco.
The switch has been pre-configured since I can access it through the intranet via an HTML graphical interface.
My problem is that I want to configure VLANs by port on this switch, and I would like to know if it is possible to get the command prompt with which I would be more comfortable.
I know that with Cisco switches, once the interface is configured using a RJ45-DB9 console cable, you can access the switch through the terminal server, but is it possible with Alcatel equipment?
If this type of interface exists, could you please let me know how to access it?
I thank in advance those who will give a bit of attention to my post.

Hello
So does it work? Since we haven't received a response, it must be good.
If you have an issue with your connector, here is the pinout diagram for the connector
RJ-45 Console Port – Connector Pinout
Pin Number Signals as DCE Console Port
1 CTS
2 NC
3 RXD
4 Ground
5 Ground
6 TXD
7 NC
8 RTS (Request To Send)
You need to have an RJ45 to DB9 connector and make your own connection
Regards

Hello, resetting a switch is done via the following command and only in console mode:
Console> enable
Console# delete startup-config
Startup file was deleted
Console# reload
You haven’t saved your changes. Are you sure you want to continue (y/
n)[n]? you need to respond with "yes"
This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current
session. Do you want to continue (y/n)[n]? respond with "yes"
******************************************************
/*the device reboots */
Then you need to return to the console to reconfigure the user and password if you want to connect via the web interface like this:
Console> enable --> enter
Console> configure --> enter
Console(config)# ip http authentication local
Console(config)# username admin password user1 level 15
you can set whatever you want for user and password "you'll need to remember it.
Then if you have a DHCP server check the IP address obtained otherwise you will need to assign one like this:
Console> enable --> enter
Console> configure --> enter
Console(config)# interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.x.y + subnet mask
Now it's up to you to play.
Console> enable
Console# delete startup-config
Startup file was deleted
Console# reload
