Connecting Through the Console Port

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

SUMMARY STEPS

1.Identify the active RSP.

2.Connect a terminal to the Console port of the active RSP.

3.Start the terminal emulation program.

4.Press Enter.

5.Log in to the router.

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

Identify the active RSP.

Identifies the RSP to which you must connect in the next step.

 

 

There are two RSPs: RSP0 and RSP1. One is active RSP, the other is

 

 

standby.

 

Step 2

 

 

Connect a terminal to the Console port

Establishes a communications path to the router.

 

of the active RSP.

• During initial setup, communicate with the router only through the

 

 

 

 

Console port of the active RSP.

 

 

• The Console port uses a serial cable connection to a terminal or a

 

 

computer running terminal emulation.

 

 

• The terminal settings are:

 

 

– Bits per second: 9600/11520

 

 

–

Data bits: 8

 

 

–

Parity: None

 

 

–

Stop bit: 1

 

 

–

Flow control: None

 

 

• For cable requirements for the Console port, see 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, use terminal

 

 

emulation to communicate with the router. For instructions on using a

 

 

terminal emulation program, see its documentation.
