Configuring COM1 Port Settings

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. 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

Description
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.
