portcfg command

This command configures and displays the settings for the advanced management-module serial port.

Table 1. portcfg command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display management-module serial port configuration	Displays the current configuration of the management-module serial port. Possible return values are: -b baud_rate -p parity -s stop_bits	`portcfg -com1`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set management-module serial port baud rate	Checks syntax and sets the baud (communications) rate of the management-module serial port.	`portcfg -com1 -b` baud_rate where baud_rate is 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 57600. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set management-module serial port parity	Checks syntax and sets the parity of the management-module serial port.	`portcfg -com1 -p` parity where parity is `none` `odd` `even` `mark` `space` This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set management-module serial port stop bits	Checks syntax and sets the number of stop bits for the management-module serial port.	`portcfg -com1 -s` stop_bits where stop_bits is `1` or `2`. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Example:

To display the configuration for the management-module serial port, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  portcfg -com1

To set the baud rate for the management-module serial port to 9600, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  portcfg -com1 -b 9600

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

               system:mm[1]> portcfg -com1
-b 2400
-p none
-s 1
system:mm[1]> portcfg -com1 -b 9600
These configuration changes will become active after the next reset of the MM.
