Hi, the console port on Sangfor NGAF serves two important functions:

1) Out-of-band management

• The console port allows you to access and manage the device even if the network or web interfaces are not accessible.
• It is particularly useful for troubleshooting and initial configuration when other methods are unavailable.
  
  

2) Initial Configuration Access:

To access NGAF using the console port, follow these steps:

• Connect a console cable from the console port on NGAF to your computer.
• Use terminal software on your computer (such as PuTTY, Tera Term, or Konsole).
• Configure the terminal software with the appropriate settings (e.g., baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity).
• Access NGAF by connecting to the console port using the configured terminal software.
