Viewing Your Changes
To view your current changes, enter
show system
at the CLI
prompt.
Saving Your Changes
Once you have configured this basic switch information, save
your changes by entering
write memory
at the CLI command
prompt.
When the
write memory
command is entered, changes are
automatically saved to the main configuration file (
boot.cfg
)
and placed in the
/flash/working
directory. For more informa-
tion on the
boot.cfg
file, refer to
page 36
.
Note.
If the switch reboots following a
write memory
command entry, the switch will run from the
/flash/certified
directory. As a result, subsequent configu-
ration changes cannot be saved using the
write memory
command until the switch is once again running from the
/flash/working
directory. See page
page 38
for important
information on these directories.
Modifying the Serial Connection
Settings
The switch’s serial connection defaults are listed on
page 17
.
If you wish to modify the default serial connection settings
(i.e., baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits), refer to the
following steps.
Note.
You must be connected to the switch via the console
port before attempting to change serial connection
settings. Otherwise, an error message will display.

Enter
modify boot parameters
at the CLI prompt. The
boot prompt displays:

To change the baud rate, enter
boot serialbaudrate
,
followed by the desired baud rate value. Options include
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600,
76800, and 115200. For example:
Boot > boot serialbaudrate 19200
Note.
Setting the console port to speeds above 9600 baud
can cause problems with Zmodem uploads.
