configuration.
Switch Configuration
n
After logging in to a switch through its console port by using a modem, you will 
enter the AUX user interface. The corresponding configuration on the switch is the 
same as those when logging in to the switch locally through its console port 
except that
■ When you log in through the console port using a modem, the baud rate of 
the console port is usually set to a value lower than the transmission speed of 
the modem. Otherwise, packets may get lost.
■ Other settings of the console port, such as the check mode, the stop bits, and 
the data bits, remain the default.
The configuration on the switch depends on the authentication mode the user is 
in. Refer to Table 6 for the information about authentication mode configuration.
