A network technician needs to access the console port of a Cisco router using a laptop that only has USB-A ports. The router has an RJ45 console port. What cable(s) are needed, and what is the significance of a 'rollover' cable's pin-out?
- A.A standard Cat6 Ethernet patch cable connected from the laptop's USB Ethernet adapter to the router's console port
- B.A USB-to-RJ45 console cable (or USB-to-serial adapter plus a DB9-to-RJ45 rollover cable); the rollover cable has a unique pin-out where pin 1 connects to pin 8, pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, etc. - each pin is 'rolled' to the opposite end, making it incompatible with standard Ethernet wiring
- C.A crossover Ethernet cable; console ports use MDI-X wiring while laptop USB Ethernet adapters use MDI wiring
- D.
