Connecting to the Router Through the Console Port

The first time you connect to a new router with Cisco IOS XR software, connect through the Console port. Although typical router configuration and management take place using an Ethernet port, you must configure the console port for your LAN before it can be used.

Because a new router has no name, IP address, or other credentials, use a terminal to connect through the Console port, setting the speed to 115200. The remote terminal setting has to match the 115200 value.

After you connect through the Console port, configure the management ports with their IP addresses. Then you can use either SSH or Telnet to connect to the router.

Note confreg 0x0 reverts to the default speed setting. If you change it from the default of 115200, you must reset it afterwards.

To connect to the router through the Console port, perform the following procedure.

SUMMARY STEPS
