NOTE: If a user configures the serial port’s baud rate, the baud rate will take effect and save immediately. Baud rate settings will not change even if the user resets or reboots the Switch. The Baud rate will only change when the user configures it again. The serial port’s baud rate setting is not stored in the Switch’s configuration file. Resetting the Switch will not restore the baud rate to the default setting.
