Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites for this document.

Identifying a Rollover Cable, Straight-through, and Crossover Cable

The information in this document is based on the software and hardware versions below.

The Catalyst series switches mentioned in this document require the use of either a rollover or

straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect a terminal to the console port depending on the type of

supervisor and other factors. Rollover cables and straight through cables have different pinouts than

crossover cables, which can be used to connect 10/100 base TX ethernet ports together between switches.

To identify the type of cable you are using, refer to RJ-45 Cables or Cabling Guide for Console and AUX

Ports.

The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All

of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in

a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/9.html (2 of 19) [9/4/2003 12:36:02 PM]

need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female data terminal equipment (DTE) adapter if you want to

connect the switch console port to a terminal. You may order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=)

containing the adapter from Cisco. The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The

terminal emulation softwarefrequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or Procomm Plusmakes

communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible during the setup program.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Be sure that your PC or terminal emulation software is configured to communicate with the switch

via hardware flow control.

Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port

default characteristics:

9600 baud

❍

8 data bits❍

1 stop bit❍

No parity❍

Using the supplied rollover cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port.

Attach the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter to a PC, or attach an appropriate adapter

to the terminal.

Insert the other end of the supplied rollover cable in the attached adapter.5.

Run the terminal emulation program if you are using a PC or a terminal.6.

cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter.

Note: The RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter is not supplied with the switch. You may order a kit

(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing this adapter from Cisco.

Connecting a Terminal to Catalyst 2948G-L3,

4908G-L3, and 4840G Series Switches

You may configure the Catalyst switch routers from a direct console connection to the console port or

remotely through its management port.

Use the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 female data terminal equipment (DTE)

adapter (labeled "Terminal") to connect the console port to a PC running terminal emulation

software.

●

If you are using a direct console connection, configure your terminal emulation program for 9600

baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

●

Console Port Pinouts

The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle. Data Terminal Ready (DTR) and Data Set Ready (DSR)

handshake signals are supported. The Request To Send (RTS) signal tracks the state of the Clear To Send

(CTS) signal. Table B-1 lists pinouts for the console port.

Series Switches

On the Catalyst 2926 series switch, the console port is located on the Supervisor Engine front panel and

is labeled "CONSOLE," as shown in the figure below.

Figure: Console Port Connector (Catalyst 2926 Series Switch)

Cisco - Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst Switches

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/9.html (5 of 19) [9/4/2003 12:36:02 PM]

The Supervisor Engine console port is a data communications equipment (DCE) DB-25 receptacle that

supports a DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. EIA/TIA-232 supports unbalanced circuits at signal speeds up to

64 kbps.

Before connecting the console port, check the terminal documentation to determine the baud rate. The

baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 bps) of the switch console port. Set up

the terminal as follows:

9600 BPS

●

8 data bits●

No parity●

1 stop bit●

Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a data terminal equipment (DTE) device, such as a

terminal or a PC. Use a null-modem cable to connect the switch to a remote DCE device, such as a

modem or a Data Service Unit (DSU). See the figure below for DCE and DTE cable connectors.

Figure: EIA/TIA-232 Adapter Cable Connectors, Network End

Note: The console port is an asynchronous (Async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be

capable of asynchronous transmission.

Both Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) are active when the system is running. The

Request To Send (RTS) signal tracks the state of the Clear To Send (CTS) input. The console port does

not support modem control or hardware flow control. Table C-1 lists the console port pinouts.

Note: The AUX port is currently not supported.

Figure: Console and AUX Port Connectors

The console port, which is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial port with an RJ-45 connector, is a

full-featured DTE connection with hardware flow control.

Connect the terminal using a thin, flat RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-9, an

RJ-45-to-D-subminiature female, or an RJ-45-to-D-subminiature male adapter (depending on the

terminal connector).

Supervisor Engine I and II Console Port

The port is located on the Supervisor Engine front panel and is labeled "CONSOLE," as shown above.

The console port is a data communications equipment (DCE) DB-25 male receptacle that supports a

DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. Both Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) are active

when the system is running. The Request To Send (RTS) signal tracks the state of the Clear To Send

(CTS) input. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control.

Note: If you need a replacement console port accessory kit for your Supervisor Engine I or II, the part

number is ACS-2500ASYN=. This is the same kit that ships with many other Cisco routers, including the

Cisco 2500 series.

Use a null-modem cable to connect the switch to a remote DCE device, such as a modem. For more

information on accessing a Supervisor Engine I remotely, see Connecting a Modem to the Console Port

on Catalyst Switches. Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a data terminal equipment

(DTE) device, such as a terminal or PC.
