Connecting to the Ethernet Management Ports
Follow this procedure to connect a data terminal to the RP console port:
Procedure
Step 1 Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (115200 8N1).
Step 2
Power off the data terminal.
Step 3 Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.
Step 4
Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.
Step 5 Power on the data terminal.
Connecting to the Ethernet Management Ports
To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach GR-1089-CORE STP Category 5 cables directly to the
MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RP.
Note
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable vendors.
Use cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards.
Caution
Ethernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the chassis; they are also used for booting
or accessing Cisco software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly connected. We strongly
caution you to consider the security implications of enabling routing functions on these ports.
Note The Ethernet interfaces on the RP are end station devices only, not repeaters.
Follow these steps to connect an Ethernet cable to the RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Procedure
Step 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2
Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
