DETAILED STEPS

Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).

After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Port Cable

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port

operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through

the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts

However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) through

command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.

When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:

• Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port

• Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port
