Isn't the switch accessible via a Web interface? Most are. If so, why not use a browser to access it? It is much more practical nowadays.
Of course, I don't know your concrete case, I am thinking generally.

Yes, it was accessible via the web, until I changed the IP - but forgot to change the subnet mask as well. So, I could drive to the IDC and reset it, but this made me realize that I need to get serial console working for fixing / debugging purposes as well.

Luckily when I installed the switch, I connected the serial cable to the CentOS server as well, thought it would be a handy backup measure, until now.....
