5 Connect the Router to the Network
This section provides information about cables and ports and attaching the router to the network.
Figure 10 Attaching the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables
Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections
Note Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable
of asynchronous transmission. The DCE-mode console port is for connecting a console terminal and the DTE-mode
auxiliary port is for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or other router) to your router.
Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600 8N1).
Step 2 Use an auxiliary and console port cable. Use the console cable to connect the terminal to the console port. After you
establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Note You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. For
console and auxiliary port pinouts, see the online Cisco 7301 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC and RJ-45 Connections
The Cisco 7301 router has three native Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Each interface consists of three RJ-45 media ports and three
SFP GBIC optical fiber ports. The RJ-45 media ports provide 10/100/1000-Mbps connectivity while the SFP GBIC optical fiber
ports provide 1000-Mbps connectivity.
Note Any three of the six Gigabit Ethernet ports may be used at the same time.
For more information on SFP GBIC cabling specifications, see the online Cisco 7301 Installation and Configuration Guide and
the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Module and Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC Module Installation Information

Figure 11 Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC and RJ-45 Port Identification
Intra-Building Lightning Protection
Shielded cables which are grounded at both ends are required to be used on the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port in order to be in
compliance with requirement R4-11 in GR-1089-Core for a Central Office environment. This is not a requirement for customer
premise installations.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage
(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports
both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 76
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so you can see the colored wires inside the ends.
The straight-through wire type has colored wires in the same sequence at both ends. In the crossover wire type, the first colored
wire at the far left is the third colored wire at the other end. The second colored wire at the far left is the sixth colored wire at the
other end.
Attach RJ-45 Ethernet cables to the appropriate connector.
Note Both native Gigabit Ethernet ports, SFP GBIC and RJ-45, are reported as Gigabit Ethernet 0/0, Gigabit Ethernet 0/1,
and Gigabit Ethernet 0/2 in software. You must use the media-type command to select which media type you want to
use before you configure these ports. See the “Configure the Native Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 22.
SFP GBIC Cabling and Connection Equipment
The Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable (SFP) GBIC module port is a 1000-Mbps optical interface in the form of an
LC-type duplex port that supports IEEE 802.3z interfaces compliant with the 1000BASEX standard. Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC
models GLC-SX-MM, GLC-LH-SM, and GLC-ZX-SM are supported in the Cisco 7301 router, as are a variety of Coarse
Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs, and the Cisco 1000BASE-T (copper) SFP with an RJ-45 port. For cabling
distances, specifications, and other information, see the online Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Module and Small
Form-Factor (SFP) GBIC Module Installation Information and Specifications. Also see the Coarse Wavelength- Division
Multiplexing SFP Compatibility Matrix at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps4999/

Figure 12 Inserting the Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC Cables
Note There is no support for copper-based SFP GBICs (1000BASET) as these do not conform to the SFP GBIC standard and
have not been validated by Cisco.
Step 1 Remove the SFP GBIC plug.
Step 2 Attach the appropriate optical fiber cable directly to SFP GBIC module. You can use either simplex or duplex
connectors for most devices.
•Two cables are required for simplex connectors, one cable for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).
•One cable that has both TX and RX connectors is required for duplex connectors.
Use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connector, if you are using a Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP.
Caution If you plan to use a GLC-LH-SM at distances greater than 984.25 feet (300 meters) over 50/125-micron or
62.5/125-micron multimode fiber, to prevent data transmission problems you must use the mode-conditioning
patch cord.

Connect Power to the Router
This section provides instructions for attaching the power cables to the router and powering on the router.
Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the
unit. Statement 1028
Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or
circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all
current-carrying conductors.) Statement 13
The Cisco 7301 router comes with either an AC or DC power supply. Dual AC and dual DC power supply options are available.
Connect AC-Input Power
Step 1 Check that the power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Step 2 Plug the single power cable into the AC connector on the router. The cable is keyed so that it cannot be inserted
incorrectly.

Connect DC-Input Power
The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Match
the lead color coding for the DC-input power supply to the lead color coding used at the DC power source.
Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a Listed and
Certified fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 60 VDC, 15 A is used on all currently-carrying conductors.
Statement 96
Warning Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that
services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit
breaker in the OFF position. Statement 140
Step 1 Be sure the power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Step 2 Ensure that no current is flowing through the DC power supply leads. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit
breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the
switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Step 3 Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 0.55 inch (14 mm) from the –V and +V leads.
Figure 17 Attaching the Wires to the DC Plug and the DC Plug to the DC Connector
Step 4 To determine which lead to connect to which screw in the DC plug, align the DC plug (1) with the DC connector (4, 5)
in the chassis as shown in the illustration above. Do not insert the plug in the connector. Notice the symbols, + A –,
embossed on the connector (3). Use the symbols and the orientation of the plug to guide you when inserting the leads
into the plug.
Step 5 Loosen the screws in the DC plug (1), insert the +V and –V leads, and tighten the screws.
Step 6 Insert the DC plug (1) into the DC connector (4) in the chassis. Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 if you have a dual DC power
supply (5).

Step 7 Switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Step 8 Press the power switch to turn on the router.
Note After powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Observe the System Startup and Perform a Basic Configuration
Check conditions prior to system startup:
Step 1 Check that all hardware parts and cables are securely attached to the chassis.
Step 2 Check that port adapter configuration information is available, if needed.
Step 3 Check that a CompactFlash Disk is installed.
Step 4 Check that the console terminal is turned on.
Start the Router
Caution The DC return connection to this system is to remain isolated from the system frame and chassis (DC-I).
Step 1 Place the power switch in the ON (|) position.
Step 2 Listen for the fans; they should be operating as soon as power is turned on. The following table provides information
about the LEDs as the system starts.

Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The STATUS LED comes on immediately as amber, then turns to
green when the Cisco IOS is booted. Port adapter LEDs go on and off irregularly.
Step 4 Observe the initialization process. The port adapter ENABLED LEDs go on when initialization is completed and the
console screen displays a script and system banner.
7 Configure the Router
Before configuring the router, determine whether or not you want to use a management tool such as Cisco Security Device
Manager.
Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM), version 1.1, is an optional Java-based device-management tool that allows you to
configure LAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and other
features without knowledge of the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). You can configure features such as Access Control Lists
(ACLs), routing protocols, and other options using SDMs advanced mode.
Note You will need to use CLI commands to configure several features that SDM does not support. SDM does not support
the following features: WAN configuration, Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces, AA client, EZ VPN server, QoS,SSHv2,
DHCP server configuration options, and usability enhancements.
SDM is preinstalled on your routers Flash Disk or CompactFlash Disk when it is ordered as part of a VPN bundle or as part of
a 7xxx VPN bundle. If your router did not ship with SDM preinstalled, you can download a free copy from the Software Center
at Cisco.com at http://ww.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/index.shtm. Because SDM uses a GUI, it requires that you access it
from a PC using a supported web browser. Go to the Security Device Manager (SDM), Version 1.1 User Note for the 7xxx
Routers for more information.
Performing a Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router’s serial (WAN) cable to the channel service unit/data service unit
(CSU/DSU). If the WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and goes automatically into the setup
facility.
You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.
If the serial (WAN) cable is connected to the CSU/DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the
router attempts to run AutoInstall at startup. The router may take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up
to a remote TCP/IP host. Once the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the setup facility.
