Cabling Ethernet Interfaces
Port ETH0 and ETH1 on the C2000 model and the C4000 model accept RJ-45
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (copper) interfaces. Port ETH2 and port ETH3 on the
C2000 model and the C4000 model accept SFPs.

Cabling the System
Two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports—Each accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector,
providing an out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session,
SSH, or SNMP.
One RS-232 management port—Accepts a DB-9 (female) connector. This port
provides direct CLI access from a console terminal.
"Setting the Initial Configuration"
Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the system until it clicks into place.
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an
out-of-band connection.
Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten the screws.
Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal's serial port (VT100/ANSI).
