3.1.1. Console Port

Three console serial ports are provided in RJ45 shield connector outlets. One port is
connected to the LMP, which enables access to all the major devices and command
line interface commands for configuration and monitoring. This port is also configured to
be shared with IPMC. Two additional ports are connected to the OCTEON II NPUs.
The serial port configuration is RS232 compatible including XON/XOFF, baud rate,
stop, and start bit setting. The label for the console port is visibly different from the
management Ethernet port to avoid ambiguity that may be caused by the same RJ45
connector type. The pin-out of the serial interface RJ-45 connector is compatible to
Cisco serial port pin out as shown in Table 3-1 and the configuration values in Table 3-
2.
