Logging In Through the Console Port 
Introduction to Local Console Port Login 
Logging in through the console port is the most common way to log in to an AP. It is also the prerequisite 
to configuring other login methods. By default, you can log in to a AP through its console port only.  
To log in to an AP through its console port, the related configuration of the user terminal must be in 
accordance with that of the console port. 
Table 14-2 lists the default settings of a console port.

After logging in to your AP, you can perform configuration for console users. For more information, see 
Configuring Common Settings for Console Login .
