Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Connecting the PRP to an Ethernet Network
The software configuration register is set to 0x0102, which causes the router to
boot automatically from the Cisco IOS XR software image stored on the Flash
memory card.
• The Flash memory card that shipped with your system is installed in the
bottom slot, PCMCIA slot 0 of the RP (Figure 3-9).
Figure 3-9 Flash Memory Card Slots
Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the RP console port and turned on,
or that you have a remote login to the router from another device through a telnet
session.
Connecting the PRP to an Ethernet Network
The PRP includes two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, each using an 8-pin RJ-45
receptacle for either IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or IEEE 802.3u
100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connections. The transmission speed of the Ethernet
ports is auto-sensing by default and is user configurable.
To connect cables to the PRP Ethernet interfaces (ports labeled ETH0 and ETH1),
attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to a RJ-45 receptacle on the PRP.
Note The Ethernet interfaces on the PRP are end-station devices, not repeaters;
therefore, you must connect an Ethernet interface to a repeater or hub.
