What to Do Next

Note

A connection will not be established when setting up an out-of-band connection or modem connection in

the auxiliary port and the console port.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Port

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port ("Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Faceplate

Connectors" figure in the Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables section, callout 4) 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 to it.

However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 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
