Using the Console Switch Installation and Setup
If you don’t specify parameters with the command, the console prompts you for an input value and provides a default
value displayed in parenthesis. For example, if you enter
show portconfig without specifying a port (as a parameter),
the following appears. Here, the default of “ all ” ports is presented. You can either accept the default by pressing Enter,
or you can enter a specific port number. Taking the default displays the following:
SmartSwitch # show portconfig

2.5.2 Console Time-out
The console can be configured to exit if it does not sense a key stroke within a defined length of time. By default, the

set ConsoleTimeOut
command to adjust the time-out period:
SmartSwitch # set consoletimeout
Timeout(0) : 30
