      What Type Of Port Is Sometimes Used By Routers For Management And Configuration Purposes?

      The Console port is sometimes used by the routers for management and configuration purposes. Today let us learn about what actually the console port is, the importance of the console port, and the identification of the console port and all of its ports in the cisco networking. We will also know how to connect all the devices via the console port from the computer.

      In simple words, the console port is like the front door that is used for initial access to our networking devices. Let us take an example, take a device like a cisco 3568 port switch and take an Ethernet patch cable. We can see the console port on the cisco 3568 switches. Connect a console cable into the console port and the other end of the console cable is connected to an adapter and the end of this adapter will be connected to the computer.

      But if you have a USB connection to the cable, we can directly use it to connect to the computer. The console port can be present at different locations on the networking device.

      The console port will provide the terminal access to the device like the router, switch or it can be firewall. The console port is the serial type of the connection. It is usually the r-232 type of connection. In the case of the router, we will be talking about the rollover cable. Many times we talk about it as a common port and like a legacy desktop where we have all the serial ports that are present on the back, but in today’s, we are pushing all those serial ports into the single USB connection that converts it into a 9-pin common port and then it converts into a console cable.

      In the case of the cisco router, we will be talking about the rollover cable, it normally rolls the cable between pin1 to pin 8. We should also make sure whether the path rate is set correctly or not. The console connection is essential to us for the serial adapter, we connect the db9 connection into the serial connection and after that, we connect the rollover cable that is plugging into an rj45 port of a router, switch or a firewall that provides the connection.

      The console cable is mostly used when we are troubleshooting the network equipment, installing the network equipment, or for any other console, access is required. To use the console cable, we use a USB to RS232 adapter and a console cable, a console terminal emulator. There are also other variations that are available.

      We connect all the networking devices for the configuration of the computers and for the purpose of troubleshooting. We will use another type of adapter between the DB9 and the USB port. At the end of the console port, we connect an RJ45 and a USB at the end of the adapter that is connected to the computer or laptop, as we discussed earlier.
