Stupid Cat 5xxx question
I've just read (and never noticed on the 5500 we have at work), that the 5xxx series has a RS-232 console connector (I assume this to mean DB9 or DB25) that requires the use of a rollover cable (it did not say null modem), so I guess that means I need two DB25/DB9 to RJ-45 connectors and a rollover between them to log on through the console port. Can someone please confirm.

Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question
NOPE ! It has an RJ-45 connector which you can use it with both DB25 or DB9 connectors from Cisco and a STRAIT cable NOT ROLLOVER ELIAS - Original Message - From: "Timothy Metz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: groupstudy.cisco To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 12:59 PM Subject: Stupid Cat 5xxx question > I've just read (and never noticed on the 5500 we have at work), that the > 5xxx series has a RS-232 console connector (I assume this to mean DB9 or > DB25) that requires the use of a rollover cable (it did not say null modem), > so I guess that means I need two DB25/DB9 to RJ-45 connectors and a rollover > between them to log on through the console port. > > Can someone please confirm. > > Happy Thanksgiving (to those who observe) > > Tim > > > _ > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question
well, the cable is the same cisco RJ-45 cable used for any console. it's in fact "inverted" meaning pin1 attaches to pin 8 of the other side and so on.

RE: Stupid Cat 5xxx question
if pin 1 attaches to pin 8 and so on would this mean that it is in fact a rollover cable?? plus i just ran into an issue with and external modem hook up that required a rollover cable and in indeed we where able to use the console cable for this. -Original Message- From: Shahir Boshra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 6:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question well, the cable is the same cisco RJ-45 cable used for any console. it's in fact "inverted" meaning pin1 attaches to pin 8 of the other side and so on.

Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question
Shahir, The cable used for any console= rollover cable=pin 1 attached to 8 and if you rolled this cable over again it will become a straight cable. So the used cable is a straigh cable at the end as Elias said. I know you are trying to help, but I think this way you make others get confused. Make it simple by saying a straigh cable is needed.

Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question
this is indeed right.. except that some people mix between rollover and cross-over, which is totally different as pin 1 & 2 attach to 3 & 6 respectively. That's why i meant to be as clear as possible by using the term "inverted" - Original Message - From: "Faxon, James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Shahir Boshra'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 5:37 PM Subject: RE: Stupid Cat 5xxx question > if pin 1 attaches to pin 8 and so on would this mean that it is in fact a > rollover cable?? plus i just ran into an issue with and external modem hook > up that required a rollover cable and in indeed we where able to use the > console cable for this. > > -Original Message- > From: Shahir Boshra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 6:52 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Stupid Cat 5xxx question > > > well, the cable is the same cisco RJ-45 cable used for any console. it's in > fact "inverted" meaning pin1 attaches to pin 8 of the other side and so on. > > > ""Elias Aggelidis"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > 024801c05548$665ab200$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:024801c05548$665ab200$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > NOPE ! > > > > It has an RJ-45 connector which you can use it > > with both DB25 or DB9 connectors from Cisco and > > a STRAIT cable NOT ROLLOVER > > > > > > ELIAS > > > > > > - Original Message - > > From: "Timothy Metz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Newsgroups: groupstudy.cisco > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 12:59 PM > > Subject: Stupid Cat 5xxx question > > > > > > > I've just read (and never noticed on the 5500 we have at work), that the > > > 5xxx series has a RS-232 console connector (I assume this to mean DB9 or > > > DB25) that requires the use of a rollover cable (it did not say null > modem), > > > so I guess that means I need two DB25/DB9 to RJ-45 connectors and a > rollover > > > between them to log on through the console port. > > > > > > Can someone please confirm. > > > > > > Happy Thanksgiving (to those who observe) > > > > > > Tim > > > > > > > > > _ > > > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: > > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > > > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > _ > > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > _ > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
