Connecting the Ethernet Management Port Cable

1
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port. Both the console
and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable
of asynchronous transmission.
A connection will not be established when setting up an out-of-band connection or modem connection in
Note
the auxiliary port and the console port.
For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see Appendix A, "Cisco ASR 1006 Router
Specifications." Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port
as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
2. After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Connecting the Ethernet Management Port Cable
When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port
operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through
the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts
to it.
However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps) through
command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.
When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:
• Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port
• Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port
