Type <Enter> for all fields but the Console Speed. When presented the following line:
Do you confirm these changes in flash ( (Y)es, (N)o (Q)uit ) [N] :
Step 2 - Enter Y and the changes will be saved in flash.
Step 3 - Logout and login again to use the console at the new speed.
Setting the Maximum Number of Bytes Received by the Interface
You can avoid CPU overload due to too many bytes received by the interface at one time
by setting a limit to the rate of bytes received. The bootconf utility offers a way of setting
this limit. The default is set to 0, which disables the function. For optimum performance
set the value to: 50000.
Just inform the maximum allowed rate of bytes to be received, or 0 disable completely
the feature (all bytes will be processed at any rate). An optimum rate determined by
Cyclades during the testing process was 50000. Notice that, though bigger values won't
cause harm (will only make the system more sensible to storms), smaller values can
cause the feature be triggered by the normal equipment traffic.
To set a limit of bytes received by the interface per second:
Step 1 - Run bootconf.
