Console cable for SRW2048

I have lost the original console cable to the Cisco Linksys SRW2048 and was wondering if I can use the Cisco console cable or can a regular serial cable with female ends will work?
Thanks,
Stanley

Hello Stanley,
A cisco console cable probably won't work since they usually have RJ-45 on one end. However, a regular serial cable should work just fine, as long as your computer has one as well, or you have a USB to serial adapter.
The settings for the console port are as follows:
Bits per second: 38,400
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Once you open the connection you'll have to hit enter once to make anything display.
You can also acces the console of this switch through telnet, by connecting to the switches IP with a telnet client and use admin as the username with a blank password.
I got most of this info from the admin guide, which is available here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/srw2048/administration/guide/SRW-US_v10_UG_A-Web.pdf
Let me know if that works,

Is there any alternative to console cable for pix 501 firewall?

I need help on CISCO PIX 501 Firewall, it comes with console cable having serial port, but systems now a days & the one i am having are not having serial port so i am not able to access command-in-line , is there any alternative way, can it be accessed using ethernet or lan wire, if so please provide steps, waiting for your valueable responses, ...

Hi,
Have you considered getting an USB adapter for the Console cable?
I had to get that for my first work laptop since they happened to order a model without the serial port. For the most part it worked just fine.
I guess depending on your PIX configurations you might be able to boot it up and attach a PC directly to it and manage it.

Need to purchase a console cable for a SRW248G4

I have a client with a SRW248G4 installed. We cannot determine the IP address assigned to the switch and we need to configure the ports. The client cannot find the console cable that came with the unit and I have been unsuccessful in finding where I can buy one. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks! I called Ciso tech support and I asked where I could get a cable, if it was proprietary, etc. His response was for him to help me, I would have to send the ENTIRE switch to them as an RMA and they would send me out a new switch that had the cable included. I found one at Newegg, now that I know it uses a standard cable.

Console cable for WAE 574

Hi all,
Does anybody have a serial console cable, and showing how 9 pin in both end should go to?

Hi Jan,
I ran into the same issue and there is little info on the pins. Purchased blank DB9 to RJ45 backshells and created our own. The pins below work with the Rollover cable conected to it to manage via Console 512/612.

Console cable for catalyst 5500

I have just acquired 2 catalyst 5500's. I have a Cisco rollover cable that I have used to console into the 1200 series wireless access points and used it on 2 catalyst 2900 xl's, but I am unable to console into the 5500's. Does it require a different type of cable? Or different settings for the hyperterminal session?

Hi Friend,

2960x broken when USB console cable connected

Hi
I have a strage issue here, on 2 different 2960X ( WS-C2960X-48TD-L ) when I connect the mini USB cable for console access the switch do not respond anymore, after few seconds all the led stop to flash, the switch start to broadcast all packets on all ports, causing redundand port to create a loop.
The issue is present on both switches, tried to cold boot, tried updating to 15.0(2)EX4 but still same issue.
I tried different usb cables that are working on 2960S and 3750x, anyone with this issue ?
It is annoing as I have only usb pors available there.
The issue start when the cable is plugged in without even start the login, the Control plane free about 20-30 seconds after. If I remove the usb cable everithing is fine again, but spanning tree on other switches has gone crazy due to the switch was farwarding on all ports.

Hi,
anyone has this same issue ?

Console cable to USB adapter

Can anyone recommend a USB adapter to use with a console cable?

As posted on https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/46991
a native USB to Cisco RJ45 Console cable - $15 and available from http://www.get-console.com/shop/en/18-usb-to-serial-cables - native driver support for OSX, Win 7. It even is light blue flat ribbon cable as well to stop any confusion as to what it is.
So instead of carrying round a USB to DB9 serial cable that you constantly have to convert to RJ45 to connect to Cisco console ports you can instead carry round a USB to RJ45 serial cable that you can convert to DB9 with a $4 adaptor if you need to work on non-Cisco stuff.
Yes a shameless plug, but as a field engineer myself i know that no laptops come with RS232 ports anymore. and the USB-to-DB9-Serial-to-Cisco-DB9-to-RJ45 cable combo is somewhat convoluted.

WLC4402 Console Cable

Hi.
We have one customer who have deployed a unified wireless solution using WLC4402. They implemented high security that they have disabled telnet, http & https connectivity to the WLC. Now, configuration changes needs to be done on the WLC but unfortunately they have lost the provided console cable. Is there other ways to connect to the WLC?
If the console is a must, would someone know the console cable pin-outs for the WLC?

Haha, well, that's no doubt the lesson that will come from this.
The serial cables didn't work? I really question whether this device is working. Did you lock the console too? If not, that should work fine. Make sure your settings are correct - 9600 baud, etc...
The service port won't work with HTTP and HTTPS disabled.
Finally, you won't be able to ping the WLC's AP Manager interface, but that's not usually the interface that shows up in CDP. Maybe it's possible that the WLC is bad? Does the wireless still work? As best you can tell, are the APs still associated to the controller?
Next step is to open a Cisco TAC case and ask them if it's possible to reset to factory defaults some other way...

2602 AP PoE comes up only after console cable is disconneted

HI...
We have been struggling with PoE issues for sometime until we accidently came across what seems to be the problem. The equipment we are using are,
Cisco WLC 5508 (w/HA WLC) ver 7.4.100.0
Cisco AP 2602
Cisco 4507 w/Poe module, 3560 24 port Poe, 3560CG 8port Poe
Now we noticed that if an access point is connected to a console cable then poe is connected via any of the above switches, the AP will not power up until the console cable is disconnected. We have tried this on 5 different 2602 APs and tested on all the three switches.
I wonder wether this is a known issue or bug, or if anybody might have come across such behaviour.
All Help Is Appreciated
Thanks

Now we noticed that if an access point is connected to a console cable then poe is connected via any of the above switches, the AP will not power up until the console cable is disconnected. We have tried this on 5 different 2602 APs and tested on all the three switches.
I've got one case where I plugged the PoE and the AP won't work. A close inspection shows the STICKER was incorrect. Instead of plugging to the right-hand port, the sticker was put on upside down and telling me to connect the PoE to the left-hand port.
Another reason could be faulty cable. What is the output to the command "sh power inline"?

Switch traffic stopped until console cable plugged in.

Hi All,
I'm working on an odd problem investigation with one of our switches at a remote site. Two days ago an alert was fired for Gigabit Ethernet/0/3 reporting a status as down for over 2 minutes. An engineer was sent to site and confirmed that the device had power but there was no activity on the ports connecting two of the clients buildings. The engineer attempted a reset of the SFP and fibre port which did not resolve the issue, and also connected the fibre cable to another port to confirm there were no issues with the cable. The engineer then attempted to connect a console cable to the switch and the fibre port came back up of its own accord. The switch was also rebooted to confirm it was working as expected.
I'm in a junior role here but i've no idea why the switch would have issues until a console cable was attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
Gareth.

I've had this issue since I had to reinstall windows 7. The best solution I found was creating a shotcut for PSOFF on the desktop or somewhere and setting it to run on startup. I keep my shortcut on the desktop because if the computer ever dies and enters windows backup, when you turn your computer back on it will not automatically start psoff again. If that ever happens I just click the shortcut

ASR 9001 console cable

Does the asr 9001 ship with a console cable ? The normal console cable does not seems to work ( used 115200 8N1 and No Flow).
Did any one have difficulties connecting the asr 9001 for the first time ?

I used an ordinary, blue DB9-to-RJ45, Cisco console cable (I believe it's called rollover cable) that I use for all Cisco devices that I need console access to (and not only those - same cables work for Sun servers as well).
I can't remember if the ASR was packed with its own console cable, but even if it was, I didn't use it.

Console Cable RJ45 to RJ45 to Avocent Cyclades

So I have 2 drops to each AP (2702's on the way). One will be data and the other console access. For lack of better terms, what termination order needs to be used for the console connection to a console server with RJ45 ports. Is it straight through, crossover or rollover? It seems different equipment has required different cable types, and I want to be sure they are terminated correctly. I suppose I could do trial and error, but rather not.

Hi Matt,

CSS Console Cable

I have a Cisco CSS 11001 that's been sitting around for a while and I'm trying to console into it. I don't have the original cable that came with it and using a standard molded Cisco console cable isn't working. I've checked the manual online and the terminal settings are correct, so I can only assume it's the cable. Any ideas?

Hi,
The CSS 11000 series need a different cable, this link explains how to build it:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a00800a3f28.shtml
Also make sure to set Flow Control to none on the port settings.
Hope it helps!!
