The slip command defines a serial port as a Serial Line Internet Protocol
(SLIP) interface. This command defines a number of port parameters.
The command syntax is:
slip [–d] [port]
After entering the command, you are prompted for each parameter. The
port is the number of the serial port to be configured with this command.

Description
Modifies the port's mode. A y response changes
the port to a SLIP interface. An n response changes
the port's mode to CLI. The port is not available as
a SLIP interface and the SLIP parameters are
ignored. The default is n.
Specifies the CSMIM2 IP address for this SLIP
interface. The CSMIM2 boots over the SLIP
interface only if this address is set.
Specifies the IP address of the remote end of the
SLIP interface.
Specifies the IP address of the remote host to
which load and dump requests are sent. This
address is required only if the remote host is a
gateway and not the load host. By default, this is the
same as the remote end-point address.
Enables the CSMIM2 to use a SLIP interface for
memory dumps. The default is y.
Specifies the baud rate of the serial interface. The
default is 9600.
