Management Lan Interfaces; Console Port - Cisco ASR 5000 series Installation And Administration Manual

▀ ASR 5000 Line Cards
Number Description
4 Optical Gigabit Ethernet Management LAN Interfaces—Two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces to connect optical transceivers.
5
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Management LAN Interfaces—Two RJ-45 interfaces, supporting 10/100 Mbps or 1
Gbps Ethernet.
6
Console Port—RJ-45 interface used for local connectivity to the command line interface (CLI). See Cabling the Switch
Processor Input/Output Line Card for more information.
7 BITS Timing Interface—Either a BNC interface or 3-pin wire wrap connector. Used for application services that use
either the optical or channelized line cards.
8
CO Alarm Interface—Dry contact relay switches, allowing connectivity to central office, rack, or cabinet alarms. See
the Applying Power and Verifying Installation for more information.

Management LAN Interfaces

SPIO management LAN interfaces connect the system to the carrier's management network and subsequent
applications, normally located remotely in a Network Operations Center (NOC). You can use the RJ-45 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet interfaces or optical SFP Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
When using the RJ-45 interfaces, CAT5 shielded twisted pair cabling is recommended.
Important:
from ESD or other transient voltage damage.

Console Port

The console uses an RS-232 serial communications port to provide local management access to the command line
interface (CLI). A 9-pin-to-RJ-45 console cable is supplied with each SPIO card. The console cable must provide
carrier-detect when attached in a null modem configuration.
