[Device Configuration and Verification]

Which two settings are standard Cisco console connections when configuring a terminal emulator to connect to the console port of a Cisco switch? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

When configuring a terminal emulator (such as PuTTY, Tera Term, or HyperTerminal) to connect to the console port of a Cisco switch, the standard settings are as follows:

Speed (baud rate): 9600

This is the default transmission speed for Cisco console ports, ensuring compatibility across various devices.

Data bits: 8

This setting specifies that each character transmitted consists of 8 data bits, which is standard for most serial communications.

Parity: None No parity bit is used, meaning there is no additional error-checking bit appended to each character.Wikipedia

Parity: None No parity bit is used, meaning there is no additional error-checking bit appended to each character.Wikipedia

Stop bits: 1

One stop bit indicates the end of a character transmission.

Flow control: None

No flow control is employed, allowing continuous data transmission without hardware or software-based pausing.

Therefore, options C (Speed: 9600) and D (Data bits: 8) are correct. Options A (Stop bits: 2), B (Flow control: Hardware), and E (Parity: Even) deviate from the standard settings and may result in communication issues if configured.

Wait, are we sure about the flow control setting?

I’m leaning towards 9600 for the speed and possibly even parity, but I’m not entirely confident about that.

I feel like I’ve seen questions like this before. I’m pretty sure data bits are 8, but I can’t recall the stop bits setting.

I remember practicing with console settings, and I think flow control is usually set to none, not hardware.

I think the baud rate is definitely 9600, but I'm not sure about the other one. Maybe it's 8 data bits?

The baud rate and data bits are easy, but I'm not confident about the stop bits and flow control. I'll just make an educated guess and hope for the best.

I remember learning about these Cisco console settings in class, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I'll have to carefully review the options and try to eliminate the ones that don't sound right.

Okay, let me see. I know the baud rate is 9600 and the data bits are 8, so that's C and D. For the other two, I'm going to guess B for hardware flow control and A for 2 stop bits.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about the stop bits and flow control settings. I'll have to think through those a bit more carefully.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The standard Cisco console settings are 9600 baud rate and 8 data bits, so I'll select C and D.

C) and D) are the way to go, no doubt. Although, I'm kind of disappointed they didn't include an option for a 'Star Wars' themed baud rate. That would've been a real galaxy-brain move.

Hah, classic Cisco! They really love their 9600 baud rate, don't they? Anyway, I'd go with C) and D) for sure.

Yes, you're right, Jacquline. Flow control: Hardware is indeed one of the standard settings.
