Connecting and Communicating with the Router
To manage or configure a router running the Cisco IOS XR software, you must first connect to the router
using a terminal or a PC. Connections are made either through a direct physical connection to the
Console port of the primary Route Processor (RP), or from a remote location using a modem or Ethernet
connection. Figure 2-1 shows the RP connections on the Cisco CRS-1 16-Slot Line Card Chassis, and
Figure 2-2 shows the RP connections on the Cisco CRS-1 8-Slot Line Card Chassis.
