What does a rollover adapter do?
A rollover adapter (also known as a Cisco console rollover adapter) is a type of null-modem adapter that is used to connect a computer or terminal to the console port of a Cisco router or switch. It allows you to access the device's command-line interface (CLI) for configuration, management, and troubleshooting purposes.
How do I use a Cisco console rollover cable?
To use a Cisco console rollover cable:
- Connect one end of the rollover cable to the console port of the Cisco device (usually marked in blue).
- Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on your computer or terminal.
- Open a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY or HyperTerminal) on your computer.
- Configure the terminal settings to match the device's requirements, typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
- You should now be able to access the Cisco device's CLI and perform configuration tasks.
What is the difference between a rollover cable and a console cable?
While rollover cables and console cables are similar in appearance and function, they serve slightly different purposes:
- A rollover cable is used to connect networking devices (e.g., routers, switches) together for direct communication.
- A console cable is specifically designed to connect a computer or terminal to the console port of a networking device for configuration and troubleshooting.
In summary, a rollover cable is used for device-to-device connections, while a console cable is used for connecting a computer or terminal to a device's console port.
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 perform configuration tasks on the device. Unlike crossover and straight-through cables, rollover cables are not intended to carry data but rather create an interface with the device.
What are the connectors used in a rollover or console cable?
Both rollover cables and console cables typically have RJ-45 connectors on both ends. One end plugs directly into the RJ-45 console management port on the back of the router or switch, while the other end connects to the serial port on a computer or terminal using an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter.
