Description
Must match the number of stop bits used by the devices connected to all ports.
If the Authentication Required is enabled, user authentication is enforced using the local passwd database.
To specify other authentication methods such as RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos or NIS go to Expert mode and select Security - Authentication.
Expert mode provides additional options for custom configuration of serial ports, such as assigning an alias to a serial port, specifying individual parameters to the serial ports (or groups of serial ports) or using any of several other connection protocols.
To set parameters for all serial ports:
This step configures all serial ports with the same values. Use this form if all the devices connected to the serial ports on the console server can run using the same connection protocol with the same speed. Also, make sure the values you specify here are the same as those in effect on the connected devices.
If the connected devices require different connection protocols and speed, configure individual settings in Expert mode - Ports - Physical Ports.
1.Change serial ports parameters as needed.
2.To change whether authentication is required, check the Authentication Required checkbox to enable or leave it unchecked to disable.
3.Select apply changes to save configuration to Flash or continue the configuration.
4.Select the Next button or proceed to the next section, Step 4: Access.
Step 4: Access
Selecting Step 4: Access enables you to add or delete user accounts and set or change existing passwords.
In addition, administrative privileges can be granted to added users by adding the user accounts to an admin group, enabling them to administer the connected devices without the ability to change the configuration of the console server. By default any user can access any port as long as a valid user ID and password are used.
