Chapter 3 Configuring General Router Features
Connecting to and Communicating with the Router
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
Install and configure the terminal
server.
Prepares the terminal server for communications with the router and with
Telnet clients.
• This step is usually preformed once.
• For router access, users need the Telnet server IP address and port
number for each RSP they access.
• For additional information on configuring terminal services, including
terminal servers and templates, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Aggregation Services Router System Management Configuration
Guide.
Step 2
Connect the terminal server to the
Console port of the target RSP.
Establishes a communications path between the terminal server and the
router.
• During the initial router setup, communicate with the router only
through the Console port of the primary RSP.
• The router Console port uses a serial cable connection to a terminal or
terminal server.
• The terminal settings are:
–
Bits per second: 115200
–
Data bits: 8
–
Parity: None
–
Stop bit: 1
–
Flow control: None
• For information on the cable requirements for the Console port, see
the hardware documentation listed in the
“Related Documents”
section on page viii.
Step 3
Power on the router. Starts the router.
• This step is required only if the router power is not on.
• For information on power installation and controls, see hardware
documentation listed in the
“Related Documents” section on page viii.
Step 4
Identify the target RSP. Identifies the RSP to which you connect in the next step.
• The Cisco ASR 9000 Series router has two RSPs: RSP0 and RSP1.
One is the active RSP, and the other is the standby.
Step 5
telnet access-server-address port
Establishes a Telnet session with the terminal server.
• Replace access-server-address with the IP address of the terminal
server, and replace port with the terminal server port number that
connects to the target RSP Console port.
