Console Port Problems
Solution
When the console port does not display 900-series messages, the problem might be that
the port to which the terminal is physically connected is not defined as the console port or
the console terminal is faulty.
To determine if the port to which the terminal is physically connected is defined as the
console port, enter the following command:
