Cisco Exam 800-150 Topic 6 Question 6 Discussion

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.
