Note the following about this CLI command:
| To apply changes to the console port’s speed, save the active configuration and reload the system. | 
| After setting the console port to 9600 or 115,200 bps using the serial baudrate command, the bootloader output will appear correctly on the connected serial console during a system boot provided the client application is set to run at a matching speed. | 
| When the serial baudrate is set to 9600 bps, you will need to press the spacebar twice for the CLI login prompt to appear following a reboot. |
