Connecting to the Router Through the Console Port
The first time you connect to a new router with Cisco IOS XR software, you must connect through the
Console port on the DSC. Although typical router configuration and management take place using an
Ethernet port on the DSC, you must configure the console port for your LAN before it can be used.
