Connecting the Router to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
appropriate CONSOLE port on the front panel. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary
device, connect it to the AUX port on the front panel. Both ports accept a cable with an
RJ-45 connector. One serial cable with an RJ-45 connector and a DB-9 connector is
provided with the router. To connect a device to the CONSOLE port and another device
to the AUX port, you must supply an additional cable.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2. Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable (Figure 39 on page 99 shows the connector)
into the AUX port or CONSOLE port on the front panel. Figure 40 on page 99 shows
the ports.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
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
