Console Port Access
The switch console port provides switch access to a directly-attached terminal or
PC or to a remote terminal or PC through a serial connection and a modem. For
information about connecting to the switch console port, refer to the switch
hardware installation guide.
Be sure that the switch console port settings match the settings of the terminal or
PC. These are the default settings of the switch console port:
• Baud rate default is 9600.
• Data bits default is 8.
Note If the data bits option is set to 8, set the parity option to None.
• Stop bits default is 1.
• Parity settings default is None.
Make sure that you save any changes you make to the switch console port settings
to Flash memory. For information about saving changes from CMS, see the
“Saving Configuration Changes” section on page 2-37. For information about
saving changes from the CLI, see the “Saving Configuration Changes” section on
page 3-10.
