- provides a quick and basic understanding of the various ports
on a Cisco Router. An entry-level IT, Network, or Telecom professional. would find this valuable to know before their first assignment involving Cisco.
Cisco makes up about 70% of the enterprise-grade data center connectivity equipment. If you're a IT pro, you're definitely going to encounter Cisco switches and routers.
In this video, we demonstrate with a Cisco 1700 route which has a variety of ports - Console, Aux, Ehternet, WAN, and Voice (RJ-11).
While Console, Aux, WAN, and Ethernet ports are all RJ-45, they are very different in the functionality. A common rookie mistake is to try to connect a network cable from their laptop directly into the Console port of the route.
Console ports are SERIAL connections, they require a "Cisco console cable" and Serial connection on the PC or laptop.
Likewise, WAN (Wide area Netwok) ports look much like Ethernet ports too. Again, completely different function. (unless the WAN just happens to be an Ethernet hand-off from a broadband or metro connection).
Cisco uses a color convention to help tell the ports apart
Baby Blue - Console
Yellow - Ehternet
Royal Blue - WAN
Pink - Voice

I love you guys who disinterestedly spend your time helping diseminate knowledge in a simple form...
Glad to help. I love helping people fix problems and learn new things. :)
What a great video. Thank you Sir.
I am very grateful to you. Very informative. Your explanation is very well.
Wonderful feedback. Glad I could help. 😊
Very informative sir, I would like to see a lot more video from you !
Thank you.very interesting
Thank you. Very helpful!
Thanks Rodrigo! My pleasure to help :-)
Thanks
I have that Cisco 1700, pretty useless now because the only module besides the BRI interface you can upgrade to is a 10BaseT ....
I ended up setting up pfSense on a VM instead of upgrading to a new router for my lab...
Thanks for the video.
thanks for the feedback. Happy you like it. More network and Cisco stuff on DIY's sister channel - Network Advisor - ruclips.net/user/networkadivsor
thanks :) have a nice day
I'm new to networking. Could you do the same for switch as well ?
Another great vid!!! So what's your opinion on Cisco networking essentials book by Troy McMillan? Thanks!
I'm a programmer and I'm pretty good at networking and wiring telephone/cable lines in my house. I was looking into the field of a AT&T or other telecom/isp technician.
what are the benefits? and how much would I get payed?
Thank you.
Also another question the videos you make. is that on site? or in your own home/building ?
hi Dylan.
that pay varies widely and location plays a big part. Say at the bottom level, a beginner in Nebraska might earn $10. to start where as that same person in San Jose CA or Manhattan might make $20/hr or more!
And, vendor certifications make a big difference (i.e. CCNA, MCSE,)
But, in very general terms. Most beginners without a degree can usually be in the $13-$20 within the first year if they show initiative.
An Intermediate tech who can go to customer locations alone is worth about $20-30 hr (again, location makes a big difference)
Someone with more than 10yrs experience who's really good a customer-facing situations is worth $65k per year or more.
Pay rates of 6-figures per year are not unheard of for seasoned techs who can demonstrate a history of producing results.
I made a video that touches on this topic of entering into the field of Network /Telecom Tech
ruclips.net/video/Rt3TBqChhFM/видео.html
about 50/50. Some are done when I am on a customer location. Others are done in my home lab.
Thanks so much! love your channel!
What are the BRI and auxilliary ports do. I saw somewhere these two ports were mentioned too.
Haven’t used the aux port in ages, but from what I remember you could use it one of tew ways:
1. It could be used to connect to the console port on another device. So this would allow you to move between multiple device from just one connection.
2. You could connect it to a dial-up modem. And it would dial out to establish a console connection.
BRI is just a type of ISDN connection used for the WAN side of the router. 😊
@@DIYTelecom thanks a lot.
+DIY Telecom You,sir,are getting a subscriber and a 'like'. I've been looking everywhere for someone to simply explain the router interface and cable ports. Most videos are just about what routers do and not how they physically look. Thank you. Do you have similar video for switches? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Glad to help! yes, check out my other channel: ruclips.net/user/networkadivsor
that channel is a little more focused on networking topics.
Thanks for the like and the sub! :-D
how many ports does the cisco router have?
Really varies on the model. But st a minimum, it must have at least two to be a router.
What is your designation
You mean like CCNA?
on what you connect main port do you connect it to the wall socket for access or fiber cable what ever it is?
On most routers you should have a WAN port (on Cisco it has a blue outline) and a LAN port (yellow outline).
The WAN connects to the internet service. The LAN connects to your computers (usually to a switch first). Hope that helps. 🙂
@@DIYTelecom what wire you on start socket what copper wire is used instead of Rj 11 for connecting to exchange because you can not create connection you can make others to receive Connection.
What about the 4 yellow ports?
Luis, the "Yellow" ports are local are network ports. :0)
@@DIYTelecom How do they differ from the other single yellow ethernet port?
Hello! great video. I am Brazilian and I'm interested in going abroad. It has services for immigrants?
+Wagner Freitas hello, I am not understanding the question. Can you say it a different way? Or, add more details?
I'm from Brazil and I have a great desire to live in the USA. I work with telecom and electronic security. I would like to know if you have a lot of work out there
yes, the technology job opportunities are strong in the U.S. for experienced and qualified people. However, for the inexperienced, its hard to get started.
Hello a query
I have a cisco 1721 router and the front led ok does not stop blinking, the router fan does not turn on. The router has no dram memory.
I have seen the manual and there is no error that I have, because the led ok blinks all the time, and the fan does not run, that could be the error, help me please
Julio, sorry I don't know enough to diagnose your problem. I will say that if the fan isn't running when you first plug in the power, that's a bad sign. Good luck with getting that figured out sir. :)

how many ports does the cisco router have?
Cisco routers come in so many different configurations they could have any number of ports. At the very least they should have 3
1. LAN
2. WAN
3. Console
But some models could have 5, 8 or more.
