One of my customers has these Cisco 4900M Switches and we had to figure out what the baud rate/stop bits/parity settings were. In the hopes that this one day helps some other Cisco IOS newbie, here’s how you find it:
Log into the switch, and at the command prompt, enter this command:
show line con 0
You should see something similar to this:
Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns Int
0 CTY - - - - - 0 0 0/0 -
Line 0, Location: "", Type: ""
