Preparing for Network Connections Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Preparing for Network Connections When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series, consider the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports: • Cabling required for each interface type • Distance limitations for each signal type • Additional interface equipment required Connecting to the Console Port The console port (labeled Console) is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface. (See Figure 3-1.) The console port is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission. Cisco recommends using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time. Caution The console port can be used to connect to a modem, however, Cisco recommends using the COM1 port for this purpose. If you decide to connect the console port to a modem, do not connect it while the switch is booting; connect either before powering the switch on or after the switch has completed the boot process.
