Cannot Console to x590

itnotifications — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 22:21:41 GMT

Hello,

I’m trying to connect to an x590 and the console screen only shoes weird looking “y’s” no matter what I do. The putty settings are correct and the cable works as I can console in to every other extreme device I have, just not this x590. This is a brand new x590 that was just unboxed.

Very good point…..you Nailed it.

And also true for the VSP equivalents as they are the same chassis. VSP4900, VSP7400,
