Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

Power on the router.

Starts the router.

 

 

 

• This step is required only if the power is not on.

 

 

 

• For information on power installation and controls, see

 

 

 

the hardware documentation listed in the “Related

 

 

 

Documents” section on page viii.

Step 2

 

 

Connect a terminal to the Console port.

Establishes a communications path to the router.

 

 

 

• During the initial setup, you can communicate with the

 

 

 

router only through the Console port.

 

 

 

• The router Console port is designed for a serial cable

 

 

 

connection to a terminal or a computer that is running a

 

 

 

terminal emulation program.

 

 

 

• The terminal settings are:

 

 

 

– Bits per second: 115200

 

 

 

–

Data bits: 8

 

 

 

–

Parity: None

 

 

 

–

Stop bit: 2

 

 

 

–

Flow control: None

• For information on the cable requirements for the Console port, see the hardware documentation listed in the “Related Documents” section on page viii.

Step 3

Start the terminal emulation program.

(Optional.) Prepares a computer for router communications.

• The step is not required if you are connecting through a terminal.

• Terminals send keystrokes to and receive characters from another device. If you connect a computer to the Console port, you must use a terminal emulation program to communicate with the router. For instructions on using the terminal emulation program, see the documentation for that program.

Step 4

Press Enter.

Initiates communication with the router.

• If no text or router prompt appears when you connect to the console port, press Enter to initiate communications.

• If no text appears when you press Enter, give the router more time to complete the initial boot procedure, then press Enter.

• If the prompt gets lost among display messages, press Enter again.

• The router displays the prompt: Username:

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking technology, providing cutting-edge solutions for service providers and enterprise organizations alike. Among their standout products is the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, notably the A9K24X10GETR and the A9KMOD80TR models. These routers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, scalability, and versatility for networks that require high bandwidth and low latency.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built for the needs of today's complex service provider and enterprise networks. A significant feature of the A9K24X10GETR is its 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. This functionality allows for high-density connectivity, making it ideal for aggregating numerous connections to different parts of a network while maintaining optimal performance. Whether used for Internet service providers delivering high-speed connectivity or for enterprises looking to connect multiple branches, the A9K24X10GETR provides robust and reliable data transmission.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the ASR 9000 is the A9KMOD80TR module, which supports an extensive range of services. This module is designed to run a variety of technologies, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and IPv6. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing the advanced features customers demand makes it an invaluable asset for network engineering teams.

Another cutting-edge technology present in the ASR 9000 Series is its support for eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol), which plays a critical role in managing traffic across multiple networks. The routers are equipped with advanced telemetry features, empowering operators with real-time insights into network performance and health. Additionally, they come with integrated security features that protect against DDoS threats and other vulnerabilities.

In summary, Cisco's ASR 9000 Series, particularly the A9K24X10GETR and A9KMOD80TR, combines high-density connections, extensive service support, and advanced security and telemetry capabilities. These routers are perfect for demanding environments where reliable performance and adaptability are crucial. With their focus on innovation and performance, Cisco continues to shape the future of networking technology.
