Connecting to the Console Port

Connecting to the Console Port
The system console port on the RSP/RP is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the
initial configuration of the router. The console port requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
See RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
Follow this procedure to connect a data terminal to the RSP/RP console port:
Procedure
Step 1
Set your terminal to these operational values:
• 115200 Baud, 8 data, no parity, 2 stop bits with flow control none for the RP2 card on the Cisco ASR
• 9600 Baud, 8 data, no parity, 2 stop bits with flow control none for all other RSP/RP cards
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 RSP/RP console port.
Step 5 Power on the data terminal.

Connecting to the Auxiliary Port

The auxiliary port on the RSP/RP is a RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other data communication
equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RSP/RP. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports
hardware flow control and modem control.
See RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
Follow this procedure to connect an asynchronous serial device to the RSP/RP auxiliary port:
Procedure
Step 1
Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Step 2 Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.
Step 3
Attach the other end of the cable to the RSP/RP auxiliary port.
Step 4 Power on the asynchronous serial device.

Connecting to the Ethernet Management Ports

To connect cables to the RSP/RP management ports, attach Category 5 UTP cables directly to the MGT LAN
0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RSP/RP.
