Figure 6-10. TCP/IP Parameters Configuration Menu
Out-of-band management and console
settings
You can use the Out-of-Band/Console Setting menu to choose whether to use
the switch’s RS-232C serial port for console management or for out-of-band
TCP/IP communication using SLIP, and to set the bit rate used for SLIP
communications.
The following fields can be set:
♦
System Restart Out-of-Band Baud Rate: determines the serial port
bit rate that will be used the next time the switch is restarted. Applies
only when the serial port is being used for out-of-band (SLIP)
management; it does not apply when the port is used for the console
port. Available speeds are 2400, 9600, 19200, and 38400 bits per
second.
♦
Out-of-Band Dial Up Phone Number: stored as a reference for the
benefit of the system manager; does not actually cause the switch to
dial out.
