Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Software 4-9
4.5 Serial Location
The switch supports running its serial port to both the front panel and the RTM. It
does not support both the front panel and RTM at the same time. You must
configure the port to go to the location needed. By default, the port is routed to the
front panel.
4.5.1 Changing Serial Location from UBoot
In this example, the serial port direction is to the RTM.
4.5.2 Changing Serial Location from FASTPATH
In this example, the serial port direction is changed to the RTM. Note that the
change is instantaneous and lasts though a reboot.
