Switch(config-if-range)# switchport host
This will configure both the switchport mode access and spanning-tree portfast commands for you, which can be used with the range command to quickly set all ports (or all but one for the trunk) to be workstation/server ready, with very little connection time needed.
Without the above two commands, a connected device can take up to 30 seconds to negotiate and connect to a Cisco switch port.
Switch#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#int Gi2/0/23 Switch(config-if)#switchport Switch(config-if)#

Switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast %Warning: portfast should only be enabled on ports connected to a single host. Connecting hubs, concentrators, switches, bridges, etc... to this interface when portfast is enabled, can cause temporary bridging loops. Use with CAUTION %Portfast has been configured on GigabitEthernet2/0/23 but will only have effect when the interface is in a non-trunking mode. Switch(config-if)#

The AdTran 600 series console/craft cable is proprietary. Using a straight-through RJ45 to a standard Cisco DB9 or DB25 will not work. Contact AdTran support with a valid serial number, and they will ship the craft console cable to you for free. http://www.adtran.com/
Conversely, you can modify a standard Cisco DB9 to RJ45 adapter by:
1. My numbering scheme on the female DB9 is looking from inside the housing of the adapter so pin 1 is the first pin on top-left. Pin 6 is the first pin on the second row left.
2. Do the following. Take White to pin 1. Green to pin 2. Black to pin 3. Brown to Pin 4. Blue to pin 5. Red to pin 6. Orange to pin 7 and Yellow to pin 8. Pin 9 is not used.
Run a straight-through patch cable between the newly wired adapter and the ‘CRFT’ port, and you’ll be able to connect to the console.

Welcome to galloNET!
As a network engineer, I find myself encountering situations on a daily basis that require significant research and testing. My goal is to post at least one tip per day that I have found useful in saving time and maintaining network stability and security. I will also pepper in tips and tricks that I’ve uncovered when dealing with Nortel PBX systems, Windows and Linux operating systems, and general everyday applications.
Feel free to contact me at jason@gallonet.com with suggestions and comments.
