From NetworkCommands

A command available on F5 BigIP platforms; used to modify or display the device's serial console port baud rate (speed.)

Usage Syntax

bigpipe baud rate (number | show)

Usage Examples

The default baud rate is 19200bps

The baud rate may revert to the default value in some circumstances, such as when in single user mode or running EUD

Bigpipe Usage Notes

Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.

Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.

The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.

Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.

Typical Output

[user@f5-device:Active] ~ # b baud rate
BAUD RATE 19200
