Connecting the M7i Router to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device,
connect it to the AUX/MODEM port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept an RS-232
(EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with the
router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. See
“Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications for the M7i Router” on page 97.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the female end (shown in Figure 33 on page 117) of the provided console cable
into the CONSOLE or AUX/MODEM port. “Routing Engine Interface Ports” on page 116
shows the layout of the ports on the Routing Engine.
NOTE:
For console devices, configure the serial port to the following values:
•
Baud rate—9600
•
Parity—N
•
Data bits—8
•
Stop bits—1
•
Flow control—none
3. Tighten the screws on the connector.
NOTE:
For console devices, configure the serial port to the following values:
•
Baud rate—9600
•
Parity—N
•
Data bits—8
•
Stop bits—1
•
Flow control—none
