Connecting Routers and the Cisco MC3810
This section provides illustrations and cabling information for connecting the Cisco RPS to
Cisco 2500, 2600, 3600 and 4000 series routers and the Cisco MC3810 multiservice
concentrator. All these devices use:
•
One-to-one cable for quasi-redundancy
•
Two-to-one Y-cable for full redundancy
If your router does not have a Cisco RPS connector on its rear panel, you will need
Note
to convert your router by removing its existing power supply and replacing it with a Cisco
power adapter plate.
See Chapter 3, "Connecting to External Devices," for more information about power
adapter plates and for product order numbers. Device-specific instructions for this
procedure are shipped with the RPS power adapter plate when you order it, or are available
in Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at: http://www.cisco.com.
Note Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7)P or later is required when using Cisco 3600 series routers
with the Cisco RPS.
Follow these steps to connect a router or multiservice concentrator to the Cisco RPS:
Step 1
Step 2
Power OFF the router or concentrator to which you will connect the Cisco RPS
by pressing the power switch to the OFF (O) position.
Connect one end of the one-to-one cable or Y-cable to the RPS connector on the
rear panel of the router or concentrator, as shown in Figure 4-17 through
Figure 4-22.
