Product Overview
Asynchronous Serial Ports
The PRP has two asynchronous serial ports, the console and auxiliary ports. These
allow you to connect external serial devices to monitor and manage the system.
Both ports use RJ-45 receptacles.
The console port provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface
for connecting a console terminal. The auxiliary port provides a data terminal
equipment (DTE) interface and supports flow control. It is often used to connect
a modem, a channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet
management.
Ethernet Ports
The PRP includes two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, each using an 8-pin RJ-45
receptacle for either IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or IEEE 802.3u
100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connections.
The PRP-2 includes a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, which uses the above
connections and also a 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Note The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is auto-sensing by default and is user
configurable.
Hard Disk Drive
The PRP-2 optionally includes a 40-GB hard disk drive (HDD) that is installed on
the PRP-2 board.
Note Non-Cisco hard disk drives are not supported.
