Connecting to the PRP Ethernet Ports
OL-17441-01
The auxiliary port on the PRP is a DTE, RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem
or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or another router) to the router. The
asynchronous auxiliary port supports hardware flow control and modem control.
See the
"PRP Auxiliary and Console Port Connections" section on page 2-22
additional information about the auxiliary port.
Refer to
Figure 3-28
and use the following procedure to connect an asynchronous
serial device to the PRP auxiliary port.
Power off the asynchronous serial device.
Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial
device.
Attach the other end of the cable to the PRP auxiliary port.
Power on the asynchronous serial device.
Two RJ-45 Ethernet interface receptacles on the PRP provide media-dependent
interface (MDI) Ethernet ports. These connections support IEEE 802.3 and
IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards.
The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is autosensing by default and is
user-configurable.
The RJ-45 receptacles on the PRP provide two physical connection options for
Ethernet interfaces. To connect cables to the PRP Ethernet interfaces (ports
labeled ETH0 and ETH1), attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to a RJ-45
receptacle on the PRP.
