Reflection

1. How do you prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing your Cisco device through the console port?

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the serial console connection as compared to the USB console connection to a Cisco router or switch?

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
