Connecting Route Processor Cables
This section describes how to connect cables to the console, auxiliary, and Ethernet ports on the RP. The
console and auxiliary ports are both asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must
be capable of asynchronous transmission. Most modems are asynchronous devices.
Figure 3-10 shows an example of an RP with data terminal and modem connections called out.

Caution The ports labeled Ethernet, Console, and AUX are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV
circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Note RP cables are not available from Cisco, but they are available from external commercial cable vendors.
Note To comply with the intra-building lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,
Revision 01, February 1999, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the console, auxiliary,
and Ethernet ports. The shielded cable is terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable
shield material tied to both connectors.
