Connect Router to the Network
• 115200 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
Step 2
Connect and RJ45 rollover cable to a terminal, PC terminal emulator, or terminal server.
The RJ45 rollover cable is not part of the accessory kit.
Step 3
Route the RJ45 rollover cable as appropriate and connect the cable to the console port on the chassis.
If the console or modem cannot use an RJ45 connection, use the DB9F/RJ45F PC terminal adapter.
Alternatively, you can use an RJ45/DSUB F/F or RJ45/DSUB R/P adapter, but you must provide those
adapters.
What to do next
You are ready to create the initial router configuration.
Connect the Management Interface
The Route Processor management port (MGMT ETH) provides out-of-band management, which lets you to
use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage the router by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000
Ethernet connection with an RJ-45 interface.
Note
Caution
Before you begin
You must have completed the initial router configuration.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the MGMT ETH port on the Route Processor card.
Step 2
Route the cable through the central slot in the cable management system.
In a dual Route Processor router, you can ensure that the active Route Processor card is always connected to
the network by connecting the management interface on both Route Processor cards to the network. That is,
you can perform this task for each Route Processor card. When the Route Processor card is active, the router
automatically has a management interface that is running and accessible from the network.
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 100/1000 Ethernet port until the initial
configuration is complete.
