A router is located at the gateway
it routes packets as they travel from one

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.

segments the Local Area

by directing the data flow and
determines the route of packets
a switch performs the layer 2 or
Data-Link layer function.

To connect the PC to a router:
Configure terminal emulation software on the PC
for:
 The appropriate com port
 9600 baud
 8 data bits
 No parity
 1 stop bit
 No flow control

Connect the RJ-45 connector of the rollover cable to
the router console port.

Connect the other end of the rollover cable to the
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.
