No login prompt via serial console

[ferby09]

Greetings,
I've bought an used OS6350-P24 and it works out of the box. But if I try to login via serial console to activate a GUI (there is one, right?), I don't get a login prompt, it's just the cursor.
If I restart the switch with serial connected I get the following output:

I can see "login :" in the log. Maybe press enter?

[ferby09]

I've already tried pressing enter, typing admin but it doesn't react at all.
Should I reset the switch again? It should be possible via Miniboot, right?

I'm using putty at baudrate 9600 btw.

[silvio]

depending of your usb-to-serial-adapter you need sometimes to change the flow control (XON/XOFF or RTS....) - please try something there.

[Konstantinos.E]

try 115200

[ferby09]

Thank you for your tips!
I've managed to communicate via serial in putty with baudrate 9600.
I had to change some settings in the Windows device manager for my serial adapter:
baudrate 9600
data bits 8
parity none
stop bits 1
flow control xon/xoff

flow control was set to none before. When I changed settings in putty for flow control and/or baudrate it didn't work.

However, I still can't login...
The switch should be reset but admin/switch as username/password gives me the following error message:

Code: Select all

TUE MAR 14 18:14:25 : SESSION (71) info message:
+++ [SES] Authentication failed: Session 0, access type Console
+++ [SES] Session 0, user "admin"
+++ [SES] Session 0, IP address 0.0.0.0
Authentication failure.

I've already tried resetting the switch in miniboot by deleting boot.cfg from working and certified folders.
Resetting the password didn't work either when I deleted userTable6 (userTable5 doesn't exist) from network folder.
Thank you for your help so far!

[dnsleepless]

Did you get sorted out here? I can help you out, I've done this several times with various Alcatel OS6350 and 6450 switches. Let me know.

[ferby09]

I'm still struggling. I'd appreciate your help!

[silvio]

you need to delete the newes usertable within the switch folder.

[ferby09]

Sorry for the late reply but I've been busy with other projects so I put it aside.

Deleting the user table with the highest number worked!
Thank you for your help!
