Configuring Console Port Settings
The console port is an asynchronous serial port that enables switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family to
be set up 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. Connection to a terminal requires
a terminal emulator to be configured as 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Caution The console baud rate automatically reverts to the default rate (9600) after any BIOS upgrade.
To configure the console port parameters from the console terminal, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# line console
switch(config-console)#
Step 3
switch(config-console)# speed
9600
Step 4
switch(config-console)#
databits 8
Step 5
switch(config-console)#
stopbits 1
Step 6
switch(config-console)# parity
none

Verifying Console Port Settings

Use the show line console command to verify the configured console settings. This command also
displays problems that may have occurred along with the other registration statistics.
switch# show line console

Configures the port speed for the serial console. 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.
Configures the data bits for the console connection. The default
is 8 data bits and the valid range is between 5 and 8 data bits.
Configures the stop bits for the console connection. The default
is 1 stop bit and the valid values are 1 or 2 stop bits.
Configures the parity for the console connection. The default is
no parity and the valid values are even or odd parity.
