3) Set the download rate of the console port on the switch
Select an appropriate download rate. For example, if you select 115200 bps, that is, enter
5
, the
following information is displayed:
Download baudrate is 115200 bps
Please change the terminal's baudrate to 115200 bps and select XMODEM protocol
Press enter key when ready
Now that the console communication baud rate of the switch has been changed to 115200 bps while
that of the terminal is still 9600 bps, the two sides cannot communicate with each other. According to the
prompt, you need to change the baud rate of the terminal to 115200 bps.
z
It is recommended to set the download rate to 115200 bps since the software files are generally
very large.
z
If you have chosen 9,600 bps, you do not need to modify the HyperTerminal’s baud rate, and
therefore you can skip step 4) below and proceed to step 5) directly.
