Configuring the SLIP (sl0) Interface on the Console Port
Use the SLIP (sl0) interface for point-to-point SLIP connections between the switch and an IP host.
Caution
You
must
use the console port for the SLIP connection. When the SLIP connection is enabled and SLIP
is attached on the console port, an EIA/TIA-232 terminal cannot connect through the console port. If you
are connected to the switch CLI through the console port and you enter the
slip attach
command, you
will lose the console port connection. Use Telnet to access the switch, enter privileged mode, and enter
the
slip detach
command to restore the console port connection.
To enable and attach SLIP on the console port, perform this task:
