Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router has a DCE-mode console port for connecting a console terminal and an
auxiliary port for additional connections to your chassis. The auxiliary port can also be used for
diagnostics. Figure 6-15 shows the CON and AUX ports on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor
card.
Figure 6-15 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor—CON and AUX Ports
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port. Both the
console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must
be capable of asynchronous transmission.
For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see Appendix A, “Cisco ASR 1006
Router Specifications.” Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports.
Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis 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 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.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
