Go to SolutionTrying to set console baud rate but getting error
Hello - I'm trying to do the following:
Rich9509# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Rich9509(config)# line console
Rich9509(config-console)# speed 38400
Error: console configuration can only be done on console
Rich9509(config-console)#
Any suggestions? Powerlink is high and dry.

CSCsj94366¿While attempting to modify the console settings using the CLI on the ACE running software version 3.0(0)A1(4a), the following error message appears: console configuration can only be done on console. Workaround: None.

Hello,
How are you connected to the switch when you trying to change it? What SAN-OS version are you running? Is there a reason why you are trying to set the speed manually?
Thank you.ConnectrixHelpe

I would also recommend upgrading above 3.0(2a) due to various issues. 3.0(2a) is also End of Life with EMC support.

Yes, I would recommend 3.2(2c).
Thank you.

I believe this message is telling you have to be connected to the console port in order to make the configuration changes you are trying. This would be a security feature to ensure a remote user doesn't disable the console port and lock out the local administrator.
Please try it via the console port and see if the command works there.
Thank you.
