Configuring the Switch
Console/Serial Link
From the switch console only you can configure the following console
terminal emulation and communication characteristics:
■ Enable or disable inbound Telnet access (default: enabled)
■ Enable or disable web browser interface access (default: enabled)
■ Specify:
• Terminal type (default: VT100)
• Console screen refresh interval for statistics screens (the frequency
with which statistics are updated on the screen—default: 3 seconds)
• The types of events displayed in the console event log (default: all)
■ Adjust the console configuration to customize the connection with the PC
or terminal you are using for console access.
• Baud Rate (default: Speed Sense)
• Connection Inactivity Time (default: 0—off)
In most cases, the default configuration works well. If you need to change any
of the above parameters, use the switch console.
Note:
If you change the Baud Rate or Flow Control settings for the switch, you
should make the corresponding changes in your console access device. Oth-
erwise, you may lose connectivity between the switch and your terminal
emulator due to differences between the terminal and switch settings for these
two parameters.
