CompTIA Network+ Exam Review

Answer - D - To logon to a router using a terminal emulation program, you should connect the PC’s COM port to the router’s console port using a rollover cable.

Key Takeaway: The most commonly used terminal emulator program is a HyperTerminal that runs in Windows. It offers you a text-based command prompt on a remote device. The device should be either a serial device, like a Cisco router, connected directly to your PC’s serial port OR a network device. HyperTerminal can either use the local serial interface for communications on the network. If it uses the network, it used the telnet protocol.
