Agenda • Cisco Background • What is a Router • What is Switch • Router Command • Router Configuration
Cisco Background • The worldwide leader in networking for the Internet. • Internet Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions • provides the broadest line of solutions for transporting data, voice and video
Cisco Security • Cisco equipment ensure that networks both public and private • operate with maximum performance • flexibility security • VPN (Virtual Private Network) • Encryption
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.
