IP ADDRESSING

CHAPTER 5: IP ADDRESSING

5.3Setting Parameters

5.3.1 Setting Serial Port Parameters

To be compliant with IT or other policies the console parameters can be changed from the CLI interface. This is best done by setting the IP address and then telnet over to the switch. Once connected using telnet, the serial parameters can be changed. If you are using the serial port, remember to set the VT-100 emulation software properties to match the new settings.

The serial port parameters are modified using the set serial command with the following syntax:

set serial [baud=<rate>] [data=<5678>] [parity=<noneoddeven>] [stop=<11.52>] [flowctrl=<nonexonxoff>]

Where <rate> = standard supported baud rates.

Changing these parameters through the serial port will cause loss of connectivity. The terminal software parameters (e.g. HyperTerminal) will also have to be changed to match the new settings.

To see the current settings of the serial port, use the show serial command to query the serial port settings as illustrated below.

ML1200# show serial

Baud Rate: 38400

Data: 8

Parity: No Parity

Stop: 1

Flow Control: None

5.3.2System Parameters

The system parameters can be queried and changed. To query the system parameters, two commands are frequently used: show sysconfig and show setup. Usage for both commands is illustrated below.

The following example lists system parameters using the show setup command. Most parameters here cannot be changed.
