What does a rollover adapter do?
A rollover adapter (also known as a Yost cable, Cisco cable, or a console cable) is a type of null-modem cable that is used to connect a computer terminal to a router's console port. This allows you to configure and manage your Cisco network devices by accessing their command-line interface (CLI).
How do I use a Cisco console rollover cable?
To use a Cisco console rollover cable:
- Connect the rollover cable to the console port of your Cisco device (usually marked in blue).
- Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on your computer.
- Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY or HyperTerminal) to establish a connection.
- Configure the terminal settings to match the device's requirements (typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit).
What is the difference between a rollover cable and a console cable?
While rollover cables and console cables have some similarities, they serve different purposes:
- A rollover cable is used for connecting networking devices together, such as routers or switches.
- A console cable is used for connecting a computer or terminal to a networking device for configuration and troubleshooting purposes.
When should you use a rollover cable?
Rollover cables are most commonly used to connect to a device's console port to make programming changes or configure various settings, such as IP addresses, routing protocols, and security features. Unlike crossover and straight-wired cables, rollover cables are not intended to carry data but instead create an interface with the device.
What type of cable is used to connect to a Cisco console port?
The Cisco console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. To connect to the console port, you can use a rollover cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, or a console cable with an RJ-45 connector on one end and a serial connector (e.g., DB-9) on the other end.
