Router Interfaces

The console port is a management port used to provide out-of-band access to the router. It is used for the initial configuration of the router, monitoring, and disaster recovery procedures. To connect to the console port, a rollover cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter are used to connect a PC. Cisco supplies the necessary adapter to connect to the console port.
