Connecting Cisco Network Equipment

Configuration of Serial Ports

  • Common Settings
    • Baud Rate: 9600
    • Data Bits: 8
    • Parity: None
    • Stop Bits: 1
    • Flow Control: None
  • Console Server Settings
    • Activate Console Server Mode
    • Activate SSH (or other protocols you want to use)

Cabling

  • Plug Opengear's Cisco specific adapter Cable (Opengear PartNo 449016) into the Cisco device's console port (do not plug it into the console server's serial port, that won't work!)
  • Use a common, straight ethernet patch cable to connect the console server's serial port to the socket of the adapter cable.
  • Connect via SSH to <IP of console server> on port 3000 + <PortNo>. If your console server has the IP address of 192.168.3.3 and your Cisco device is connected to port 25, then connect via SSH to 192.168.3.3:3025 using the user name and password you configured.
