Connecting Route Processor Cables

Connecting to the RP Console Port

The system console port on the RP is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the initial configuration of the router. The console port requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.

See the “Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-21for additional information about the console port.

See Figure 3-10and use this procedure to connect a data terminal to the RP console port:

Step 1 Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200 8N1).

Step 2 Power off the data terminal.

Step 3 Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.

Step 4 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.

Step 5 Power on the data terminal.

Connecting to the RP Auxiliary Port

The auxiliary port on the RP is a RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other data communication equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RP. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports hardware flow control and modem control.

See the “Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-21for additional information about the auxiliary port.

See Figure 3-10and use this procedure to connect an asynchronous serial device to the RP auxiliary port:

Step 1 Power off the asynchronous serial device.

Step 2 Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.

Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP auxiliary port.

Step 4 Power on the asynchronous serial device.

Connecting to the RP Ethernet Management Ports

To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach Category 5 UTP cables directly to the

MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RP.

See the “Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-24for additional information about the Ethernet management LAN ports.

Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from external commercial cable vendors. Use cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards.
