Console Settings (Autobaud Rate Support)
The console port speed can be set to one of the following speeds: 4800, 9600, 
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 or to Auto Detection. 
Auto Detection enables the device to detect your console speed automatically, so 
that you are not required to set it explicitly. 
When Auto Detection is not enabled, the console port speed is automatically set to 
the last speed that was set manually at (115,200 by default).
When Auto Detection is enabled but the console baud-rate was not yet 
discovered, the system uses speed 115,200 for displaying text (for example, the 
boot-up information).
After Auto Detection is enabled in the Console Settings page, it can be activated 
by connecting the console to the device and press the Enter key twice. The device 
detects the baud rate automatically.
To enable Auto Detection or to manually set the baud rate of the console:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Console Settings.
STEP  2 Select one of the following:
• Auto Detection—The console baud rate is detected automatically.
• Static—Select one of the available speeds.
Rebooting the Device 
Some configuration changes, such as enabling jumbo frame support, require the 
system to be rebooted before they take effect. However, rebooting the device 
deletes the Running Configuration, so it is critical that the Running Configuration is 
saved to the Startup Configuration before the device is rebooted. Clicking Apply 
does not save the configuration to the Startup Configuration. For more information 
on files and file types, see the System Files section.
You can back up the configuration by using 
Administration > File Management > 
Copy/Save Configuration
 or clicking Save at the top of the window. You can also 
upload the configuration from a remote device. See the Download/Backup 
Configuration/Log section.
