Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 3 Installing Cards and Modules in the Chassis
Connecting the Alarm Cable
Caution Ethernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router,
and for booting or accessing Cisco software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly
connected. We strongly caution you to consider the security implications of enabling routing functions
on these ports.
Note The Ethernet interfaces on the RSP/RP are endstation devices only, not repeaters.
Follow these steps to connect an Ethernet cable to the RSP/RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Step 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2 Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
Connecting the Alarm Cable
The router alarm connector, located on the RSP/RP front panel, is a 9-pin D-subconnector, labeled
Alarm Out (Figure 3-18).
