3To change the parity value, enter boot serialparity, followed by the desired parity value. Options include none (default), even, and odd. For example:

Boot > boot serialparity even

4To change the data bits (i.e., word size) value, enter boot serialwordsize, followed by the number of data bits. Options include 7 and 8 (default). For example:

Boot > boot serialwordsize 7

5To change the stop bits value, enter boot serialstop- bits, followed by the number of stop bits. Options include

1(default) and 2. For example:

Boot > boot serialstopbits 2

6Verify your current changes by entering show at the boot prompt:

Boot >

7You can save your changes to the boot.params file by entering commit file at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit file

When the commit file command is used, changes will not be enabled until after the next switch reboot.

8You can also save your changes in real time to the switch’s running memory by entering commit system at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit system

Caution. There are two important things to consider when using the commit system command to save serial connec- tion changes:

Output to the terminal may become illegible due to incompatible serial connection settings between the switch and the terminal emulation software.

If you use the commit system command only, changes will not be saved to the switch’s boot.params file and will be lost if the switch is rebooted. To save changes to the boot.params file, refer to step 7.
