Cisco Catalyst Switch - Not all keystrokes working using console port?

redgunner

Hello,

I have Cisco Catalyst Switch and I when I type it doesnt always produce the character I want, about 80% of the time it doesn't work? I have noticed I get this strange message when I try to login via putty?

I have flow control off, I have tried Putty and Xterm but same issue


▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒CCCCCCCCC+▒#3#3#3#3#3#3#33#3#3#3#3#3#k
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.


Switch(config)#dsd



Has anybody got experience of this issue?

The flow control is not so important (I use XON/XOFF), but make sure that the Baud Rate is 9600 and the you use an 8N1 configuration (that is 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity). That should work.
