Console Settings
The loader, kickstart, and system images have the following factory default console settings:
•
Speed—9600 baud
•
Databits—8 bits per byte
•
Stopbits—1 bit
•
Parity—none
These settings are stored on the switch, and all three images use the stored console settings.
To change a console setting, use the
line console
command in configuration mode. The following
example configures a line console and sets the options for that terminal line:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
line console
switch(config-console)#
databits 7
switch(config-console)#
exec-timeout 30
switch(config-console)#
parity even
switch(config-console)#
stopbits 2
You cannot change the BIOS console settings. These are the same as the default console settings.
