Question: Creating a Rollover Cable Time Required: 20 minutes Objective: Create a rollover cable. Required Tools and Equipment: Wire cutter and cable stripper, RJ-45 crimping tool, 2 to 4 feet of Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, two RJ-45 plugs, a Cisco-managed device (such as a switch or a router with a console port), a PC with terminal emulation software installed (such as PuTTY), and a DB-9-to-RJ-45 adapter Description: In this challenge lab, you create a rollover cable, using the DB-9-to-RJ-45 adapter to connect the PC's DB-9 serial port to one end of the rollover cable and the other end to the device's console port. If the PC doesn't have a DB-9 serial port, USB-to-RJ-45 serial port adapters are available. Run PuTTY to connect to the managed switch or router's console. You might need to research the PuTTY settings required to make the connection.
