Changing the Console Serial Port Settings

You can use the Web Agent to change the communications settings
for the serial port connection on the front panel of the Layer 3
supervisor module.

Initially, the switch’s console port is configured as a TTY Console to
support a TTY connection. The Layer 2 and Layer 3 supervisor
modules allow you to reconfigure the console serial port as a PPP
Console to support a dial-in PPP connection using a modem.

* Note: As a PPP console, you can change only the switch’s baud

rate and flow control parameters. The flow control
parameters are limited to None or Xon/Xoff.
