 Router
 A router is located at the gateway

 it routes packets as they travel from one

network to another network(s).

 A router can be either a hardware device

or a software application

 The router is connected to at least two

networks

 Router Interfaces

The console port is a management port used to provide out-of-band access to

the router. It is used for the initial configuration of the router, monitoring, and
disaster recovery procedures.
To connect to the console port, a rollover cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter are
used to connect a PC. Cisco supplies the necessary adapter to connect to the
console port.
Switches

 segments the Local Area

Network (LAN)

 by directing the data flow and

determines the route of packets

 a switch performs the layer 2 or

Data-Link layer function.

 Router Connection
 To connect the PC to a router:

 Configure terminal emulation software on the PC

for:
 The appropriate com port
 9600 baud
 8 data bits
 No parity
 1 stop bit
 No flow control

 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the rollover cable to

the router console port.

 Connect the other end of the rollover cable to the

RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.

 Attach the female DB-9 adapter to a PC.

 Connect the Console Cable

 1. Connect the light-blue console cable to the light-blue port labeled CONSOLE on the
rear panel of the router.
 2. Connect the other end of the light-blue console cable to an RJ-45 adapter.
 Use either the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter or the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, depending on
your local terminal or PC.

 3. Attach the adapter to a serial port on a terminal or PC running emulation software

to allow router configuration.
