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

% 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.No longer an active member -

Have you any other equipment that you can test the cable with?
Sorry, that should read "...with which to test the cable."No longer an active member -

Yes,
They work perfectly fine with many other routers or switches -

Its possible someone changed the speed on the line in the config. Probably for xmodem or something. I'd try adjusting your local settings until you get clear output.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Yeah, I've had this happen before. Someone has messed with the baud rate. It can take a while to diagnose, but you'll get there eventually. At first I thought the device was bad.2017 Certification Goals:
