So i just got myself a Z9000 for my first 40GBe switch,

I cant seem to connect through PuTTY though, Have the USB cable in and drivers install
I changed the COM port in device manager to COM7 as it was previously COM3 which i still couldn't connect to even with that in the Serial Line in PuTTY

Thanks In Advance :)

Did you reset the switch to factory default setting?
Maybe the console port is deactivated.

All resources I found to reset involve getting into the terminal so I haven’t had that chance.

Is there another way? The manual only states one way
