Viewing Your Changes
To view your current changes, enter show system at the CLI
prompt.
Saving Your Changes
Once you have configured this basic switch information, save
your changes by entering write memory at the CLI command
prompt.
When the write memory command is entered, changes are
automatically saved to the main configuration file (boot.cfg)
and placed in the /flash/working directory. For more informa-
tion on the boot.cfg file, refer to page 36.
Note. If the switch reboots following a write memory
command entry, the switch will run from the
/flash/certified directory. As a result, subsequent configu-
ration changes cannot be saved using the write memory
command until the switch is once again running from the
/flash/working directory. See page page 38 for important
information on these directories.
Modifying the Serial Connection
Settings
The switch’s serial connection defaults are listed on page 17.
If you wish to modify the default serial connection settings
(i.e., baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits), refer to the
following steps.
Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console
port before attempting to change serial connection
settings. Otherwise, an error message will display.
1 Enter modify boot parameters at the CLI prompt. The
boot prompt displays:
Boot >
2 To change the baud rate, enter boot serialbaudrate,
followed by the desired baud rate value. Options include
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600,
76800, and 115200. For example:
Boot > boot serialbaudrate 19200
Note. Setting the console port to speeds above 9600 baud
can cause problems with Zmodem uploads.
