Figure 2-11 Identifying a Roll-Over Cable
The Cisco 7201 router ships with a roll-over cable. Connection to a terminal or a modem will require an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, and possibly a DB-25-to-DB9 adapter. Refer to
Table 2-3 for the cable and
adapter configurations that can be used to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 7201 router.
Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports. Figure 2-12 shows the RJ-45 console and
auxiliary port connections.
