Variable Value
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} Identifies the slot and port in one of the following
formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of
slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of
slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If your
platform supports channelization for 40 Gbps ports
and the port is channelized, you must also specify
the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Configuring serial management port dropping
Configure the serial management ports to drop a connection that is interrupted for any reason. If you
enable serial port dropping, the serial management ports drop the connection for the following
reasons:
• modem power failure
• link disconnection
• loss of the carrier
Serial ports interrupted due to link disconnection, power failure, or other reasons force out the user
and end the user session. Ending the user session ensures a maintenance port is not available with
an active session that can allow unauthorized use by someone other than the authenticated user,
and prevents the physical hijacking of an active session by unplugging the connected cable and
plugging in another.
By default, the feature is disabled with enhanced secure mode disabled. If enhanced secure mode
is enabled, the default is enabled.
For more information on enhanced secure mode, see
Enabling enhanced secure mode on
page 197.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Configure the serial port to drop if a connection is interrupted:
sys security-console
Example
Configure the serial port to drop if a connection is interrupted:
Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#sys security-console
