CF card
IMPORTANT:
Use CF cards provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise only. The router might be incompatible with
other CF cards.
A compact flash (CF) card stores logs, system software image files, and configuration files.
The router is equipped with a built-in CF card, which is identified with
cfa0
. In addition, the router
provides an external CF card slot to expand the storage space.
The CF cards supported by the router are available in the following sizes:
•
256 MB
•
512 MB
•
1 GB
Console port
The router provides an RS232 asynchronous serial console port that can be connected to a
computer for system debugging, configuration, maintenance, management, and host software
loading.
Table 38 Console port specifications
Item Specification
Connector
RJ-45.
Interface standard
Asynchronous EIA/TIA-232.
Baud rate
9600 bps (default) to 115200 bps.
Transmission distance
≤
15 m (49.21 ft).
Supported services
•
Connects to an ASCII terminal.
•
Connects to the serial port of a local PC to run the terminal
emulation program.
•

AUX port
The AUX port is an RS-232 asynchronous serial port used for remote configuration or dialup backup.
You must connect the local modem to the remote modem through PSTN and then to the remote
device for remote system debugging, configuration, maintenance, and management. In the event
that the console port fails, the AUX port can be connected to a terminal as a backup port of the
console port. For more information, see "
