Command Modes

Configuration mode.

Command History

This command was modified in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2).

Usage Guidelines

The line com1 command available in config t command mode. The line com1 configuration commands are available in config-com1 submode.

You can perform the configuration specified in this section only if you are connected to the console port or the COM1 port.

We recommend you use the default initialization string. If the required options are not provided in the user-input string, the initialization string is not processed.

You must first set the user-input string before initializing the string.

Examples

The following example configures a line console and sets the options for that terminal line.

switch## config t

switch(config)#

switch(config)# line com1

switch(config-com1)# databits 6

switch(config-com1)# parity even

switch(config-com1)# stopbits 1

The following example disables the current modem from executing its functions.

switch# config t

switch(config)# line com1

switch(config-com1)# no modem in

The following example enables (default) the COM1 port to only connect to a modem.

switch# config t

switch(config)# line com1

switch(config-com1)# modem in
