Configuring the console port for modem use●●●●Use the async modem-type command to configure the console port for the modem typeyou want to use. By default, the console port is set to work with MultiTech modems. Setthis command to null to use any modem type other than MultiTech.Use the interface console command to enter the console interface configurationmode. Use the no form of this command to set the console parameters to their defaultvalues.Use the ip address command to assign an IP address and mask to the console port.This is the IP address to which a remote user can connect using telnet. For example, toassign the IP address 192.168.22.33 with mask 255.255.255.0 to the console port, use thefollowing command:G350-001(if:Console)# ip address 192.168.22.33 255.255.255.0The default IP address of the console port is 10.3.0.1 with the mask 255.255.255.0.Use the ppp authentication command to decide the authentication method usedwhen starting a client session on the PPP server. Use this command with one of thefollowing parameters:- pap — Password Authentication Protocol. An unencrypted password is sent forauthentication.- chap — Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. An encrypted password is sentfor authentication. To configure this password, use the ppp chap-secret command.- none — no password is sent.Note:Note:This command changes the PPP authentication parameters of the USB port aswell as the CONSOLE port, even if you use the command in console interfacecontext.●●Use the shutdown command to disconnect a session.Use the timeout absolute command to set the number of minutes until the systemautomatically disconnects an idle PPP incoming session. By default, there is no timeout.When you use a console device to access the CLI through the console port, you must configurethe serial connection on the console device to match the configuration of the console port. Theconsole port uses the following settings:● baud — 9600● data bits — 8●parity — none● stop bits — 1●flow control — hardwareIssue 3 January 2005 79
