C2000 and C4000 1.0.x Hardware Guide

Two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports—Each accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing an out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session, SSH, or SNMP.

One RS-232 management port—Accepts a DB-9 (female) connector. This port provides direct CLI access from a console terminal.

The management port is considered a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface. Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also has DTE interfaces) requires a crossover cable.

See “Setting the Initial Configuration” on page 21 for more information about management access.

Connecting to the Network

To connect the system to the network:

1.Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on the system until it clicks into place.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an out-of-band connection.

Connecting to a Console Terminal

When you connect a console directly to the system, use a cable appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector to attach to the RS-232 port on the system.

To connect the console:

1.Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten the screws.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal's serial port (VT100/ANSI).

Cabling Ethernet Interfaces

Port ETH0 and ETH1 on the C2000 model and the C4000 model accept RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (copper) interfaces. Port ETH2 and port ETH3 on the C2000 model and the C4000 model accept SFPs.

Cabling the System for Power

After you have correctly cabled the system, you can then attach the power cord. See Figure 8 and Figure 10. See “System Specifications” on page 35 for the power requirements for the system.

To cable the system for power:

1.Insert the power cord into the AC power IEC receptacle.
