Console Port; Com1 Port - Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Console Port

Inactive session timeout
Console Port
The console port is an asynchronous serial port that allows you to connect to the device for initial configuration
through a standard RS-232 port with an RJ-45 connector. Any device connected to this port must be capable
of asynchronous transmission. You can configure the following parameters for the console port:
Data bits
Inactive session timeout
Parity
Speed
Stop bits
Configure your terminal emulator with 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

COM1 Port

A COM1 port is an RS-232 port with a DB-9 interface that enables you to connect to an external serial
communication device such as a modem. You can configure the following parameters for the COM1 port:
Data bits
Hardware flowcontrol
Parity
Speed
Stop bits
Configure your terminal emulator with 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
