Connecting The Ethernet Management Port Cable - Cisco ASR 1004 Overview And Installation

Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation
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 (10/100/1000 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
