basic cabling question

bedevere.curry · ‎08-16-2007

I have a as2511 and I want to use it to access the console port on my other devices. I believe I would use a roll-over cable but I don't have one currently that's rj45 to rj45. If possible, could you give me a sample config I would need to setup the line.

thx Cisco

Just an example...

interface Ethernet0

ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip host Router1 2001 172.16.1.1

ip host Switch1 2002 172.16.1.1

ip host Firewall1 2003 172.16.1.1

etc...

line 1

session-timeout 20

location Router1

exec-timeout 0 0

exec prompt timestamp

no exec

transport input telnet

line 2

session-timeout 20

location Switch1

exec-timeout 0 0

exec prompt timestamp

no exec

transport input telnet

line 3

session-timeout 20

location Firewall1

exec-timeout 0 0

exec prompt timestamp

no exec

transport input telnet

For the cable, you just need to make a network cable that has the following pinout:

End1 - End2

white/orange - Brown

Orange - White/Brown

White/Green - Green

Blue - White/Blue

White/Blue - Blue

Green - White/Green

White/Brown - Orange

Brown - White/Orange

Let me know if you need a better example
