What baud rate does the Serial Console use?

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:The serial console on Infoblox appliances provides low-level access for diagnostics:

Default Settings:Per NIOS documentation, the serial port operates at9600 baud, with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1). This is an industry-standard rate for serial terminals, balancing speed and reliability.

Verification:Connecting via a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY, minicom) requires matching 9600 bps—mismatched rates garble output, a common troubleshooting issue.

Options:

A (2400):Too slow, used in older systems, not Infoblox. Incorrect.

B (9600):Matches NIOS spec. Correct.

C (39400):Non-standard, likely a typo (38400 is common elsewhere, but not here). Incorrect.

D (57600):Faster rate for modern devices, not Infoblox default. Incorrect.

Practical Example:In an INE lab, you’d set PuTTY to 9600 bps, connect via null modem cable, and view boot logs, troubleshooting a Grid member’s startup.References:Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide – Serial Console; INE Course Content: NIOS DDI Grid Troubleshooting.
