Interface Access and System Information

Interface Access: Console/Serial Link, Web, and Inbound Telnet

Reconfigure the Console/Serial Link Settings. You can reconfigure one

or more console parameters with one console command.

Syntax: console

[terminal < vt100 ansi none >] [screen-refresh < 1 3 5 10 20 30 45 60 >] [baud-rate

<speed-sense 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 1155200 >]

[ flow-control < xon/xoff none >] [inactivity-timer < 0 1 5 10 15 20 30 60 120 >] [events <none all non-info critical debug] [local-terminal <vt 100 none ansi>]

N o t e

If you change the Baud Rate or Flow Control settings for the switch, you

 

should make the corresponding changes in your console access device. Other­

 

wise, you may lose connectivity between the switch and your terminal

 

emulator due to differences between the terminal and switch settings for these

 

two parameters.

 

All console parameter changes except events and inactivity-timerrequire that

 

you save the configuration with write memory and then execute boot before the

 

new console configuration will take effect.

 

 

For example, to use one command to configure the switch with the following:

VT100 operation

19,200 baud

No flow control

Critical log events

you would use the following command sequence:

ProCurve(config)# console terminal vt100 baud-rate 19200 flow-control none events critical

Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot ProCurve(config)# write memory

ProCurve(config)# reload

The switch implements the Event Log change immediately. The switch implements the other console changes after executing write memory and reload.
