!
CAUTION
Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while
operating the current Local Management connection through a
terminal. Altering the COM port settings disconnects the Local
Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local
Management session. If the 2E4X-27 was previously assigned
a valid IP address, reenter Local Management by establishing
a Telnet connection to the device. If the device does not have a
valid IP address and the COM port has been disabled or the
settings changed, reset NVRAM on the 2E4X-27 (refer to
Section 5.7.11 ) to reestablish COM port communications.
!
CAUTION
If the COM port is reconfigured without a valid IP address set
on the device, the message shown in
Figure 5-13 displays.
Do not continue unless the outcome of the action is fully
understood.
