Configure Console Setting on ESW2-350G Switches

Objective

The console port on ESW2-350G switches do not support flow control, meaning that the receiving device cannot absorb the data being sent to it as fast as the sending device can send more packets to it. Setting a lower console port transmission rate keeps the sending device from sending packets to the ESW2-350G at a faster rate than the ESW can receive the packets. This keeps the console port from being overloaded with packets. The console port usually supports slower transmission lower than modems.

The objective of this document is to explain how to configure the console port baud rate (data transmission rate) to access the switch with the console port to configure and troubleshoot the ESW2-350G switch.
