Terminal Connection Configuration

Your switch requires the following Terminal Connection parameters for configuration:
• no parity
• one stop bit
• 8 data bits

Baud Rate

The baud rates can be manually changed to any of the following values:
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600
• 19200
• 115,200
NOTE: The default baud rate is 115,200.
NOTE: Closing the device does not return the default baud rate. It must be specifically configured.
NOTE: The baud rate setting of the console is not saved in the general configuration file of the switch. It
is directly stored in the non-volatile memory device of the switch.
The following is an example configuration for changing the default baud rate using CLI
commands:
console# configure
console(config)# line console
console(config-line)# speed 115200
