Connecting Route Processor Cables

The console and auxiliary ports for the Cisco 12008 are located on the RP. The GRP has an optional Ethernet port and the PRP has two Ethernet ports. This section contains connection equipment and pinout information for the console, auxiliary, and Ethernet ports on the GRP and PRP.

GRP Console and Auxiliary Port Connection Equipment

The GRP has two EIA/TIA-232 ports: a DCE-mode console port and a DTE-mode auxiliary port. The console port is a DCE DB-25 receptacle for connecting a console terminal, which you need to configure the Cisco 12008. The auxiliary port is a DTE DB-25 plug for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) or other router) to the Cisco 12008 (see Figure 3-7).
