4 Lenovo ONIE Quick Start Guide for NE2572

Overview

The Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) is a small Linux-based operating

system that provides an open install environment for network switches without

operating systems.

ONIE enables a network switch ecosystem where end-users can choose among

different Network Operating Systems (NOS). Practically, ONIE boots on a switch,

discovers NOS installer images available on the local network or on a USB drive,

copies the chosen image to the switch, and provides an environment where the

installer can load the NOS onto the switch.

ONIE is classified as free software, meaning it can be redistributed and/or modified

under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the

Free Software Foundation. To read the license, visit the following link:

RJ45 Serial Console Port

The RJ45 port on the front management panel is available for switch console

management. The port operates using RS-232 serial communications. A compatible

console cable kit is included with the switch.

To connect a computer or terminal to the switch using the included kit, connect one

end of the Category 5 patch cable to the RJ-45 console port of the switch and the

other end of the patch cable to the RJ-45-to-DB9 adapter (see the following

illustration).

Figure 4. Console cable connections

The computer or terminal must run a terminal emulator (for example, SecureCRT,

HyperTerminal, or PuTTY). The console port terminal emulation requirements are

as follows:

• Default baud rate: 115,200 bps

• Character size: 8 characters

• Parity: none

• Stop bits: 1

• Data bits: 8

• Flow control: none
