CF card

CAUTION:

Use CF cards provided by HP only. The router might be incompatible with other CF cards.

A compact flash (CF) card stores logs, system software image files, and configuration files.

The router is equipped with a built-in CF card, which is identified with cfa0. In addition, the router

provides an external CF card slot to expand the storage space.

The CF cards supported by the router are available in the following sizes:

{ 256 MB

{ 512 M B

{ 1 GB

Console port

The router provides an RS232 asynchronous serial console port that can be connected to a

computer for system debugging, configuration, maintenance, management, and host software

AUX port

The AUX port is an RS-232 asynchronous serial port used for remote configuration or dialup

backup. You must connect the local modem to the remote modem through PSTN and then to the

remote device for remote system debugging, configuration, maintenance, and management. In

the event that the console port fails, the AUX port can be connected to a terminal as a backup port

of the console port. For more information, see "Logging in to the router through the AUX port."
