Connect the Router to the Network
This section provides information about cables and ports and attaching the router to the network.

Attaching the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables
Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections
Note
Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable
of asynchronous transmission. The DCE-mode console port is for connecting a console terminal and the DTE-mode
auxiliary port is for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or other router) to your router.
Step 1
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600 8N1).
Step 2
Use an auxiliary and console port cable. Use the console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you
establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Note
You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. For
console and auxiliary port pinouts, see the online Cisco 7301 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC and RJ-45 Connections
The Cisco 7301 router has three native Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Each interface consists of three RJ-45 media ports and three
SFP GBIC optical fiber ports. The RJ-45 media ports provide 10/100/1000-Mbps connectivity while the SFP GBIC optical fiber
ports provide 1000-Mbps connectivity.
Note
Any three of the six Gigabit Ethernet ports may be used at the same time.
For more information on SFP GBIC cabling specifications, see the online Cisco 7301 Installation and Configuration Guide and
