Ethernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the Cisco ASR 9001, and for booting or
accessing Cisco software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly connected. We strongly
caution you to consider the security implications of enabling routing functions on these ports.
Caution
The Ethernet interfaces on the RP are end-station devices only, not repeaters.
Note
Use this procedure to connect an Ethernet cable to the RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Procedure
Step 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2 Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
Connecting Power to the Router
Use one of these procedures to connect power to your router.
A router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC).
Caution
Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router
Use this procedure to connect the AC power cords to the router.
Connect each AC power supply to a dedicated power source (branch circuit). Each AC-input power supply
operates at a nominal input level of 100 to 240 VAC and requires at least a 15 A service for use in North
America and Japan, or a 10 A service for international use. For more information on AC power input levels,
see Power Connection Guidelines, on page 17.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Check that the power switch at the front of the chassis is set to the OFF position.
Step 2 Check that the circuit breaker assigned to the AC power source you are connecting is set to OFF.
Step 3 Connect the permanent ground connection (central office grounding system) to the NEBS grounding location
on the router chassis.
