Configuring the Console Port
– 87 –
◆ Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which limits the
number of failed logon attempts. When the logon attempt threshold is
reached, the system interface becomes silent for a specified amount of time
(set by the Silent Time parameter) before allowing the next logon attempt.
(Range: 1-120; Default: 3 attempts)
◆ Silent Time – Sets the amount of time the management console is inaccessible
after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been exceeded.
(Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: Disabled)
◆ Data Bits – Sets the number of data bits per character that are interpreted and
generated by the console port. If parity is being generated, specify 7 data bits
per character. If no parity is required, specify 8 data bits per character. (Default:
8 bits)
◆ Stop Bits – Sets the number of the stop bits transmitted per byte.
(Range: 1-2; Default: 1 stop bit)
◆ Parity – Defines the generation of a parity bit. Communication protocols
provided by some terminals can require a specific parity bit setting. Specify
Even, Odd, or None. (Default: None)
◆ Speed – Sets the terminal line’s baud rate for transmit (to terminal) and receive
(from terminal). Set the speed to match the baud rate of the device connected
to the serial port. (Range: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 baud, Auto;
Default: 115200)
Note:
Due to a hardware limitation, the terminal program connected to the
console port must be set to 8 data bits when using Auto baud rate detection.
Note:
The password for the console connection can only be configured through
the CLI (see the “password” command in the CLI Reference Guide).
Note:
Password checking can be enabled or disabled for logging in to the console
connection (see the “login” command in the CLI Reference Guide). You can select
authentication by a single global password as configured for the password
command, or by passwords set up for specific user-name accounts. The default is
for local passwords configured on the switch.
