Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco 7201 Router Connecting I/O Cables

Figure 2-12 Console and Auxiliary Port RJ-45 Connectors

Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port

as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).

Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Connecting the Fast Ethernet Management Port Cable

Figure 2-13 Installing the Fast Ethernet Management Port Cable

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the

port operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity

through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through

cable and adapts to it.

However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps)

through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.
