Chapter 11 Cisco ASR 1013 Router Overview and Installation
Connecting Power to the Cisco ASR 1013 Router
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port. Both the
console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must
be capable of asynchronous transmission.
For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see the
“Cisco ASR 1000-RP1 Pinout
Specifications” section on page B-505
. Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports.
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
When using the Fast Ethernet Management port (
Figure 11-12
, callout 4) 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 or 100 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
