Tip
On system reload, if the console session freezes or displays unusual characters on the screen, you may
have a console session mismatch between the Cisco IOS console line speed and the terminal server
speed. This mismatch may occur because of the program settings of your console or your terminal
server speed.
Note
Before you proceed to correct session mismatch, verify that your problem is not due to a defective cable
or improper cable connection. Check your cable connection or replace the cable and reload the system
again.
To correct a console session mismatch, do one of the following:
•
Change your console line speed.
•
Change your terminal server speed.
•
If the above two solutions do not correct the console session, install the console jumper on the
motherboard to set your default console port speed to 9600 bps.
