1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
A rollover cable is a special cable used to connect
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
to the consoles of networking devices.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It allows you to connect from the serial port on your PC or laptop
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
to the console of a router or switch.
5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
So if you've got a serial port or COM port on your PC
6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
you can connect directly to the console of a router or switch using a rollover cable.
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
However a lot of modern day PC's don�t have serial ports
8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
so you�ll need to get a USB to serial port converter
9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
which has a USB connection on 1 side and a DB9 male connector on the other side.
10
10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
This would allow you to connect DB9 female console cable to your PC
11
11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
with either a Rj-45 connector on the other side or another DB9 connector.
12
12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Most Cisco switches and routers use an Rj-745 connector
13
13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
but you may come across some devices from other vendors such as HP
14
14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
that use a DB9 connector for the console port.
15
15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So a DB9 serial would connect to your PC and either an Rj-45 or DB9 serial
16
16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
would be connected to the console of the networking device that you want to configure
17
17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
in a rollover cable all pins are inverted or rolled over.
18
18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So pin 1 is connected to pin 8, pin 2 is connected to pin 7, 3 to 6
19
19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
and so forth and so on until you get to pin 8 which is connected to pin 1.
20
20
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
You could use a standard Cat5 or Cat6 cable as a rollover cable
21
21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
and then just change the pin outs on the ends from straight through to rollover but
22
22
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
typically this is not required as most networking devices are ship with console cables.
23
23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
This video has explained a lot about Ethernet and data flows, in the next video
24
24
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
we'll look at how traffic is forwarded by hubs, bridges, switches, and routers.
