Configuration terminal problems

If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays boot information
when the firewall is powered on. If the setup is incorrect, the configuration terminal displays nothing or
garbled text.

No terminal display

If the configuration terminal displays nothing when the firewall is powered on, check the following items:
The power supply system works properly.
The console cable is properly connected.
If no problem is found, the following reasons may apply:
The console cable is connected to an incorrect serial interface (the serial interface in use is not the
one set on the terminal).
The properties of the terminal are incorrect. You must configure the configuration terminal as follows:
set Bits per second to 9600, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, Flow control to None, and
Terminal Emulation to VT100.
The console cable is not in good condition.

Garbled terminal display

If terminal display is garbled, check that the Data bits field is set to 8 for the configuration terminal.

Using the AUX port as backup console port

When the console port is faulty, you can use the AUX port as the backup console port to complete
firewall configuration as follows:
Log in to the firewall, and configure the AUX port.

the firewall through the AUX port.
NOTE:
To use the default authentication method (password authentication) of an AUX port, you must set the
privilege level and password for the user.
Use the command...
system-view
user-interface aux 0
authentication-mode none
user privilege level 3
