Connecting a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable
CAUTION:
Follow these guidelines when you connect a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable:
• Identify the marks for the ports and make sure you are connecting the correct ports.
• The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating switch,
first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating switch, first disconnect the switch
end.
A DB9-to-RJ45 console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one
end for connecting to the serial console port on the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other
end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal.
