Hi All,
Just wanted to update you all about the status of this problem.
Alhumdolillaah, i able to connect to the SunFire V890 Console using DB25
Serial port.
The problem was in the console cable, i was using cross-over cable by
mistake and assuming its straight cable.
So the conclusion is that to connect to DB25 Serial of SunFire V890 you must
use straigth cable.
[ as i mentioned in my original post. ]
Special thanks to Chris for his post.
Thanks for all who tried to help me out. i really appreciate them and keep
it up the good work.
Your Junior Admin
Salman
