Configuring serial port devices

Configure the serial port devices to define connection settings for the console port. Depending on your hardware platform the console port displays as console or 10101.

Note

These commands do not appear on all hardware platforms.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
View the current baud rate configuration:

show boot config sio
Change the console baud rate:

boot config sio console baud <9600–115200> <1–8>|<SF1–SF3>
Save the changed configuration.
Restart the switch.

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#config terminal
Switch:1(config)#show boot config sio
sio console baud 115200 2
sio console baud 115200 5
sio console baud 115200 8
sio console baud 115200 SF1
sio console baud 115200 SF3

Configure the baud rate to 9600 for the console port in IOC module slot 2:

Switch:1(config)#boot config sio console baud 9600 2
Switch:1(config)#show boot config sio
sio console baud 9600 2
sio console baud 115200 5
sio console baud 115200 8
sio console baud 115200 SF1
sio console baud 115200 SF3
