I've seen the Auxiliary port in use by contract companies that manage the HVAC services in an enterprise sized building. It was a unique case, the building was newly constructed but not completely finished. We had a near-live connection (minus the vlan trunk specifics) running over to a data closet near their newly installed HVAC setup but they would bring their, modem, laptops and even a desktop for a short while when they were finalizing everything. They didn't do this without permission of course, but they had some reason or another for connecting via their modem that went into our switch so they could get remote (partially) then physical access to the HVAC terminal access. Sometimes these oddities or parts we never expect to use find their purpose during times of turmoil, changes, or when the reason doesn't have any direct cause from us. haha. At Least.. that's what i think was going on...

I had no idea that they still sold PC's with serial ports... Come to think of it, some servers still have them. But we wouldn't generally use servers to configure devices. In some remote sites, I've connected a USB to serial breakout box to a server, and left that connected to switches/routers, so I can always get to them if there's an outage.

That's a tricky one. In short, for a Cisco router you have to be connected to the console port, and reboot the router. While it's booting, you need to enter ROMMON mode (this is like pressing F8 to get into Safe Mode in Windows). From here, you can change the password.

That is a great question! Many Cisco routers and switches don't have the GUI enabled, and a lot of people leave it turned off. Lower end devices (for small offices) have a GUI, but in general enterprise-grade routers and switches are CLI. Firewalls are a different story. They're often GUI and CLI, as GUI is far better for putting rules in order, and things like that.

Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials. I have been following along and learning so much. I ran into my first issue however, which is upon downloading PuTTy, entering my serial line (COM1 as it was listed in Device Manager), and clicking open, it simply brings me to a black screen. Pressing enter any number of times does not advance the command prompt like it does on yours, and I'm not sure why. Do you have any suggestions? Could it be because I A) Dont have a cisco router at my house? B) I am not using a specific cable that I should be using?
@NetworkDirection4 жыл бұрын
Are you using a usb/serial adapter? Have you definitely got it connected to the console port on the router? Check if there are other COM devices in device manager. Sometimes there is more than one, and you need to select the right one. Also, in Putty, make sure you have 'serial' selected
@AdamoFC4 жыл бұрын
@@NetworkDirection Thank you for the incredibly quick reply. I am on my computer, which is connected via ethernet to the patch panel which is then connected to the switch which is connected to the router (I believe, I am not 100% sure if I got that right). I dont believe I am using a serial adapter at all (or if I am, I am not aware of it. There is no serial port going into my computer). That might be the issue, but I will give all the details I can. I do not see any other COM devices in the device manager, and I made sure that 'serial' was selected in PuTTy. Edit: Upon looking closer at my router, it doesnt even appear to have a port labled as console (unless the thing I am looking at is a modem and not the router). This is in my family's home so the router is much much smaller than the example one shown in the video. These are some photos I took of it. imgur.com/a/fjWYMZC I actually am quite positive this is a Modem, but I am not sure because I don't see the modem connected to anything else, since a modem should usually be connected to a router, correct?
@NetworkDirection4 жыл бұрын
@@AdamoFC That will be the issue then. For the serial port to work, you need to use a console cable. When you connect through your switch, you're connecting over the network. They're different things. Generally, you will use a console cable to connect to the router to complete basic configuration, and then connect over the network using SSH (where you connect to the IP address of the router). So, you will need to get a USB to serial adapter, which you connect to your computer, or you can get a USB cable that connects directly to the router. Both of these options are listed in the video
@AdamoFC4 жыл бұрын
@@NetworkDirection Thank you very much for helping me find where the issue was. I really appreciate it. Does this mean that, since my router has already had it's basic configuration done, I should be able to connect to the CLI through SSH in PuTTy? Or am I still missing the hardware required to do so?
@NetworkDirection4 жыл бұрын
@@AdamoFC If the router has been configured with an IP, and if SSH has been enabled, then yes, you should be able to connect to it over the network. It really depends on what configuration it already has.
