Cisco ASR 9001 Hardware Installation Guide

Connecting to the RP Ethernet Management Ports
To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables directly to the
MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RP. STP cables are required to meet NEBS
requirements. See Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines, on page 27 for additional information
about the Ethernet management LAN ports.
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from external commercial cable
vendors. Use cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards.
Note
Ethernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the Cisco ASR 9001, 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.
Caution
The Ethernet interfaces on the RP are end-station devices only, not repeaters.Note
Use this procedure to connect an Ethernet cable to the RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Procedure
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 Power to the Router
Use one of these procedures to connect power to your router.
A router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC).
Caution
Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router
Use this procedure to connect the AC power cords to the router.
