The next time you attempt to log in through the console port, you must provide the configured login username and password.

Configuring common console user interface settings (optional)

Some common settings configured for a console user interface take effect immediately and can interrupt the console login session. To save you the trouble of repeated re-logins, use a login method different from console login to log in to the device before you change console user interface settings.

After the configuration is complete, change the terminal settings on the configuration terminal and make sure they are the same as the settings on the device.
