Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines

Table 1-2		Cisco ASR 9001 Router Front Panel Ports Description
Port Name	Connector Type		Description
CLUSTER Ports (0/1)	SFP		For Cascading two Cisco ASR 9001 Router systems.
			The pinout and signal level is as per the SFP standard.
			This supports copper/optical SFP modules.
Fixed SFP+ Ports (0/1/2/3)	SFP+		Fixed ports include 4X10G SFP+ ports and supports
			20X1G, 4X10G and 2X10G ports through Ethernet
			Plugs.

Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines

The RP has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ-45 connection ports (see Figure 1-23):

•Console port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a data terminal device to the router, which you need to perform the initial configuration of the router.

•Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.

Note The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to these ports are capable of asynchronous transmission.

Console Port Signals

The RP console port is an RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the router. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control and requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.

Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for the data transmission rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate setting must match the default rate of the RP console port, which is 115200 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200 8N1).

Table 1-3lists the signals used on the RP console port.
