Connecting to a Network
This section explains how to use the Ethernet and/or Token Ring ports to connect the router
to the LAN.
The cables required to connect the router to a network are not provided with the router. For
ordering information, see the “Obtaining Service and Support” section on page ix. For
cable pinouts, see the publication Cisco Modular Access Router Cabling Specifications,
available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router, and on Cisco
Connection Online.
Note
Although the illustrations in this section show the Cisco 2611 router, the procedures
are the same for all of the Cisco 2600 series routers.
Depending on your router model, do one of the following to connect your router to
a network:
•
Cisco 2610 or Cisco 2611—Connect the Ethernet 10BaseT port to an Ethernet hub, as
shown in Figure 3-11. Or, connect the Ethernet 10BaseT port directly to a switch such
as a Cisco Catalyst 3900.
Warning
Do not work on the system, or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
