Console Port Parameters

Each S- K- and 7100-Series module or standalone device includes a console port through which local management of the device can be accessed using a terminal or modem. The CLI provides for:

• The display of console port configurations using the show console command in any command mode
• The setting of console port parameters, including the baud rate, flow control, number of bits, number of stop bits and parity, using the set console command in any command mode
• The clearing of console port parameters to default values using the clear console command in any command mode

If C2 security mode is enabled, You can not create, modify, or clear a console configuration while in Read-Write user mode.

When specifying a console port string, use the com keyword for the port type, as specified in the Port String Syntax Used in the CLI discussion.
