# 11 How do I set up my serial ports for higher speeds?

Contents of this section

Use `setserial`, with the `spd_hi` flag to configure your serial port to use 57600 bps. Use `spd_vhi` to use 115200 bps. Then, set your speed to 38400 bps. This is now the new speed you have set. There is no speed named 57600 or 115200.

Make sure you have 16550A UARTs :-).
