I think those are the default serial port settings for minicom. If not,
you can change them by creating (or editing existing) default config
file.

It's probably /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl and should look like this for
communicating with your Cisco switch. Substitute the appropriate port
if different than /dev/ttyS0.

pr port             /dev/ttyS0
pu baudrate         9600
pu bits             8
pu parity           N
pu stopbits         1

You can also tweak all this from the menu within minicom. To invoke the
menu, press Ctl+A, then press Z. Explore the many options, but try not
to change anything unless you understand the impact because the defaults
are quite sane for most uses.

Have fun,
