Note
Connecting the Console Port
To configure the router through the Cisco IOS CLI, you must establish a connection between the router console
port and either a terminal or a PC. The console port that is located on the router interior is labeled CONSOLE.
The Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router has a single console port that functions as a
DTE-mode console (terminal) port for connecting a console terminal. Use this port to connect a PC terminal,
enabling you to log directly into the router system software to perform configuration or other commands.
