[local-terminal <vt 100 | none | ansi> ]
NOTE:
If the console idle-timeout expires, any outbound Telnet or SSH sessions open on the switch are
terminated.
If you change the Baud Rate or Flow Control settings, you should make the corresponding changes
in your console access device. Otherwise, you may lose connectivity between the switch and your
terminal emulator due to differences between terminal and switch settings for these two parameters.
All console parameter changes except events and inactivity-timer require that you save the
configuration with write memory and then execute boot before the new console configuration will
take effect.
The example below shows how to configure the switch with the following:
• VT100 operation
• 19,200 baud
• No flow control
• 600 second (10 minute) idle timeout
• Critical log events
Example 77 Executing a series of console commands
HP Switch(config)# console terminal vt100
This command will take effect after saving the
configuration and rebooting the system.
HP Switch(config)# console baud-rate 19200
This command will take effect after saving the
configuration and rebooting the system.
HP Switch(config)# console flow-control none
This command will take effect after saving the
configuration and rebooting the system.
HP Switch(config)# console idle-timeout 600
HP Switch(config)# console events critical
HP Switch(config)# write memory
HP Switch(config)# reload
NOTE: Switch models supporting redundant management, console settings, such as mode,
flow-control and baud-rate, are the same on both management modules. There cannot be individual
settings for each management module.
Interface access: console/serial link, web, and inbound telnet 99
