How to Use the RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable for Cisco Devices
- RJ45 End: Plug the RJ45 Male connector into the Console Port of your Cisco router/switch (labeled "CONSOLE" or "AUX").
- DB9 End:
- Direct Connection: If your computer has a DB9 Serial Port, plug the DB9 Female connector directly into it.
- USB Adapter: If your computer lacks a serial port, use a USB to DB9 Adapter (e.g., FTDI-based) and connect it to a USB port.
- USB Adapter Users:
- Windows: Plug in the adapter. Drivers may auto-install via Windows Update. If not, download them from the adapter manufacturer’s website (e.g., FTDI).
- macOS: Download the FTDI VCP Driver and install it.
- Linux: Drivers are usually pre-installed (check
/dev/ttyUSB0).
-
Choose a Terminal Emulator:
- Windows: PuTTY, Tera Term.
- macOS: CoolTerm, ZTerm.
- Linux: Minicom, Screen.
-
Set Serial Parameters:
- Baud Rate: 9600 (default for Cisco devices).
- Data Bits: 8.
- Stop Bits: 1.
- Parity: None.
- Flow Control: None.
-
Select the COM Port:
- Windows: Check Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) for the assigned port (e.g.,
COM3).
- macOS/Linux: Use the port path (e.g.,
/dev/ttyUSB0).
-
Power On the Device:
- Ensure the Cisco router/switch is powered and booting.
-
Login to the Console:
- Press Enter in the terminal to trigger the login prompt.
- Use default credentials (e.g.,
admin/admin or refer to your device’s manual).
-
Execute Commands:
- Use Cisco IOS commands (e.g.,
show running-config, interface gigabitethernet0/0).
-
No Connection:
- Verify the cable is fully inserted into both devices.
- Check the device’s console port label (ensure it’s RS232, not Ethernet).
-
Driver Issues:
- Reinstall the FTDI driver for macOS/Linux.
- On Windows, update drivers via Device Manager.
-
Communication Errors:
- Confirm baud rate and parity settings match the device’s configuration.
- Try a shorter cable or shielded cable if EMI interference is suspected.
