UTP Implementation of Straight-through versus Crossover

UTP Implementation of Straight-through versus Crossover

Use a crossover cable when BOTH ports are designated with an x or neither port is designated with an x.

Use straight-through when only one port is designated with an X.

Indicates what type of CAT cable is required

• Locating interfaces on the chassis- determine if one or both ports have an X

!!!WARNING!!!Do not connect a cable into an ISDN port unless it is

from an ISDN switch or ISDN wall jack.If you connect a cable from any other device into the

BRI port, you will ruin the non-ISDN device.

Cisco Router

ISDN BRI port


• PCs require an RJ-45 to DB-9 or RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter

• COM port settings are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control

• This provides out-of-band console access

• AUX switch port may be used for modem-connected console

SummarySummary

After completing this chapter, you should be able to perform the following tasks: • Identify and connect necessary components to enable

connectivity between switches and routers

• Identify and connect necessary components to enable WAN connectivity between over serial or ISDN BRI connections

• Set up console connections on routers and switches


1. Discuss three standards on which Ethernet LAN implementations are based.

2. If you want to upgrade your switch to switch connectivity to 100BaseT, what category of cable do you need?

3. Does the following pinout scheme reflect a straight-through, rollover, or crossover cable?

4. What media can be used for each connector type?
