Venkat,

One end of the RJ45 cable should be connected to your console port (usb port) of the X440 switch and the other end should be connected to the serial port of your laptop via using the DB9 connector as shown below:-

Hi Vellachery, Thankyou very much for quick response.

Venkat,

It is not possible to gain console access to the switch through an Ethernet connection.

For switches with an RJ-45 console connection (e.g. X440), it will be necessary to use an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter or a rollover cable. If the PC does not have a serial port, a serial to USB adapter may also be necessary.

Also, have a look at this KB Article:-
