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
for additional information about the console port.
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
9922 Router and the Cisco ASR 9912 Router
• 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
for additional information about the auxiliary port.
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.
