Argument

Description

baudrate <9600 | 115200>

Specifies the baud rate for the serial console port. The valid values are 9600 or 115200. The default is 115200.

For example:

(config) # serial baudrate 9600

Note: The following products support only the serial baud rate of 115200:

GigaVUE-HC3
GigaVUE-HC1
GigaVUE-TA100
GigaVUE-TA100-CXP
GigaVUE-TA200

enable

Enables the console port. For example:

(config) # serial enable

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.
For GigaVUE-HD8 nodes, the serial baudrate must be configured separately for the console ports in CC1 and CC2.
