Connecting to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

To connect the Routing Engine to a network for out-of-band management, connect an Ethernet cable with RJ-45/RJ-45 connectors to the ETHERNET port on the CIP. One such cable is provided with the router. For cable specifications, see Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications on page 74. Follow this procedure:

1.Turn off the power to the management device.

2.Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (Figure 57 shows the connector) into the appropriate ETHERNET port on the CIP. Figure 56 shows the external device ports on the CIP. The ports labeled HOST 0 connect to the Routing Engine in the upper Routing Engine slot (RE 0), and the ports labeled HOST 1 connect to the Routing Engine in the lower Routing Engine slot (RE 1).

3.Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.

Connecting to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device

To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the appropriate CONSOLE port on the CIP. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the appropriate AUXILIARY port on the CIP. Both ports accept an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with the router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. For cable specifications, see Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications on page 74.

To connect a management console or auxiliary device, follow this procedure:

1.Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.

2.Plug the female end (shown in Figure 58) of the provided serial cable into the appropriate CONSOLE or AUXILIARY port. Figure 56 shows the external device ports on the CIP. The ports labeled HOST 0 connect to the Routing Engine in the upper Routing Engine slot (RE 0), and the ports labeled HOST 1 connect to the Routing Engine in the lower Routing Engine slot (RE 1).

3.Using a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the screws on the connector.

4.Attach the other end of the cable to the console or auxiliary device.
