Connecting and Communicating with the Router
Purpose
Identifies the RP or DRP to which you must connect in the
next step.
This step is not required when the router hosts only one
•
RP.
• On a Cisco CRS-1 router, the active RP or DRP is
identified by a lighted Primary LED on the RP front
panel.
• On a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, the active RP is
identified by the alphanumeric display: ACTV RP.
Establishes a communications path to the router.
During the initial setup, you can communicate with the
•
router only through the Console port of the active RP.
The router Console port is designed for a serial cable
•
connection to a terminal or a computer that is running a
terminal emulation program.
• The terminal settings are:
– Bits per second: 9600/9600
Data bits: 8
–
Parity: None
–
Stop bit: 2
–
Flow control: None
–
For information on the cable requirements for the
•
