Configuring COM1 Port Settings

A COM1 port is a RS-232 port with a DB-9 interface that enables you to connect to an external serial
communication device such as a modem. Connection to a terminal requires the terminal emulator to be
configured as 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
To configure the COM1 port settings, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# line com1
switch(config-com1)#
Step 3
switch(config-com1)# speed 9600
Step 4
switch(config-com1)# databits 8
Step 5
switch(config-com1)# stopbits 1
Step 6
switch(config-com1)# parity
none
Step 7
switch(config-com1)# no
flowcontrol hardware

Verifying COM1 Port Settings

Use the show line com1 command to verify the configured COM1 settings. This command also displays
problems that may have occurred along with the other registration statistics.
switch# show line com1
line Aux:
OL-6973-03, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x
Speed: 9600 bauds
Databits: 8 bits per byte
Stopbits: 1 bit(s)
Parity: none
Modem In: Enable
Modem Init-String -
default : ATE0Q1&D2&C1S0=1\015
Statistics: tx:17
Command
Enters configuration mode.
Enters the COM1 port configuration mode.
Configures the port speed for the COM1 connection. The default
console baud rate is 9600 baud. The valid range is between 110
and 115,200 bps (110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200). Be sure to specify one of
these exact values.
Note This configuration depends on the incoming speed of the
modem connected to COM1.
Configures the data bits for the COM1 connection. The default is
8 data bits and the valid range is between 5 and 8 data bits.
Configures the stop bits for the COM1 connection. The default is
1 stop bits and the valid values are 1 or 2 stop bits.
Configures the parity for the COM1 connection. The default is no
parity and the valid values are even or odd parity.
Disables hardware flow control. By default, hardware flow
control is enabled on all switches in the Cisco 9000 Family.
When enabled, this option is useful in protecting data loss at
higher baud rates.
This option is only available through the COM1 port.
