Hardware Overview
This section provides a brief overview of external features, slots, and modules
on the ProCurve Secure Router 7000dl Series. The ProCurve Secure Router
7000dl Series includes two models: the ProCurve Secure Router 7102dl and
the ProCurve Secure Router 7203dl. Both models include two narrow module
slots. The ProCurve Secure Router 7203dl also includes one wide module slot.
ProCurve Secure Router Front Panel
To make accessing the router and connecting it to other devices more conve-
nient, the console interface and all physical link ports are located on the front
panel of the router. The front panel of each router includes two Ethernet
interfaces and two narrow dl option module slots that can house your two
choices from among ten narrow modules. The ProCurve Secure Router 7203dl
also provides a wide module slot to support up to eight additional T1 or E1
lines.
The following sections briefly introduce the features on the front of your
ProCurve Secure Router.
Console Port
The console port, which is a DB-9 DTE male connector, allows you to manage
the ProCurve Secure Router locally. To access the CLI, use the serial cable
(5184-1894) supplied with the router to connect the console port to the COM
port on your laptop or PC. (See Figure 1-4.)
