Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines

Connecting to the Uplink Ports

Supervisor Engine 2

In addition to the above configuration requirements, note that with a Supervisor Engine 2 you can use two types of console cables to connect a terminal to the console port. To accommodate either type of cable, set the console port mode switch (to the right of the console port) as follows:

To use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”) provided with the router, make sure that the console port mode switch is in the in position (factory default).

To use a Catalyst 5000 Supervisor Engine III console cable and adapter (not provided), make sure that the console port mode switch is in the out position, and use the appropriate adapter for the terminal connection. See the “Console Port Mode 2 Signaling and Pinouts (Sup2 Only)” section on page B-10for a list of console port pinouts when the switch is in the out position.

Note To access the console port mode switch, use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object.

Connecting a Modem

To connect a modem to the console port, observe the following guidelines:

Use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 data communications equipment (DCE) adapter (labeled “Modem”) provided with the router.

On a Supervisor Engine 2, make sure that the console port mode switch is in the in position (factory default).

Connecting to the Uplink Ports

The supervisor engine and route switch processor have uplink ports that you use to connect the router to other network devices. You can configure the ports with small form-factor pluggable (SFP), XENPAK, X2, or Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) optics modules.

Table 3-2lists the different types of uplink ports on each module. SFP, XENPAK, and X2 optics modules have SC, LC, or MT-RJ connectors. GBIC modules (on the Supervisor Engine 2) have SC connectors.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Caution Do not remove the plugs from the optical bores on the fiber-optic cable or the module port or until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs protect the optical bores and cable from contamination.
