Connecting to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
Toconnect the Routing Engine to a network for out-of-band management, connect
an Ethernet cable with RJ-45/RJ-45 connectorsto the ETHERNET port on the CIP. One
such cable is providedwith the router. For cable specifications, see RoutingEngine
Interface Cable and Wire Specifications on page 74. Follow this procedure:
1. Turnoff the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (Figure 57 showsthe connector) into the
appropriate ETHERNET port on the CIP.Figure 56 shows the external device
ports on the CIP.The ports la beled HOST0 connectto 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 RoutingEngine slot (RE 1).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.

Connecting to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
To usea system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect
it to the appropriate CONSOLE portontheCIP.Tousealaptop,modem,orother
auxiliary device, connect it to the appropriate AUXILIARY port on the CIP. Both
ports accept an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable with D B-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 o n page 74.
Toconnect a management console or auxiliary device, follow thisprocedure:
1. Turnoff the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the female end (shown in Figure 58) of the providedserial cable into the
appropriate CONSOLE or AUXILIARY port. Figure 56 shows theexternal device
ports on the CIP.The ports la beled HOST0 connectto 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 RoutingEngine 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.
