Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Serial Port Settings
IMPORTANT: If you change your serial port settings, make sure that your terminal settings match your
new serial port settings.
Use the following command to configure the GbE Interconnect Switch serial port for either
console or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection:
Command Description
serial set
{
[type {console | slip}]
[local-ip <ip_addr>]
[remote-ip <ip_addr >]
[mtu {1006 | 1500}]
[rate {2400 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400 |
115200}]
[data-bits {7 | 8}]
[parity {even | odd | none}]
[stop-bits {1 | 2}]
}
Configures the serial port for console or SLIP
connection and configures the serial port
settings
Type the following in the command:
• type {console | slip}—Type console or
slip to set the connection type. If you set
the type to SLIP, enter the following:
• local-ip <ip_addr>—Type local-ip and
the SLIP local IP address.
• remote-ip <ip_addr>—Type remote-ip
and the SLIP remote IP address.
• mtu {1006 | 1500}—The SLIP
maximum transfer unit (MTU) value
specifies the size of the transferring IP
packets. Type mtu and either 1006 or
1500.
• rate {2400 | 9600 | 19200 |38400 |
115200}—This specifies the baud rate at
which data will be exchanged over the
serial link. Type rate and 2400, 9600,
19200, 38400, or 115200. The default
value is 9600.
• data-bits {7 | 8}—This specifies the
number of bits that will carry data over the
serial link. The default value is 8 bits. Type
data-bits and either 7 or 8.
• parity {even | odd | none}—Type parity
and even, odd, or none.
• stop-bits {1 | 2}—This specifies the
number of bits that indicate when a serial
word ends. Type stop-bits and either 1 or
2. The default value is 1 bit.
