36 Using the Console Interface
Configure Console
You can use the Console Options screen to choose whether to use the Switch’s RS-232C serial port for console
management or for out-of-band TCP/IP communications using SLIP, and to set the bit rate used for SLIP communications.
Choose Configure Console to access the last item on the Configuration menu. The following screen appears:
Figure 6-10. Console Options screen
The following fields can be set:
Settings on Restart:
♦ Console Timeout This setting for the restart of the console is 2 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, or Never.
♦ Serial Port Determines whether the serial port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) management or for console
management, starting from the next time the Switch is restarted. In this field, you can toggle between SLIP or
Console port type settings.
♦ 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, 19,200 and 38,400 bits per second. The default setting in this
Switch version is 9600.
The top of the screen displays the current settings for Console Timeout and Serial Port as well as the Baud
Rate, Character Size, and Stop Bit for Out of Band and Console settings, respectively.
