I don't know the exact pinouts, but I do know the process: In the back of
the Content Switch manual there's a table that lists the pinout for the
Content Switch console port. I do know that it only uses three pins, which
makes life easier. There are documents on CCO that show the pinout for the
Async Octal-8 cable. Match them up correctly and come up with the right
pinout. You can either re-pin the octal cable (I wouldn't) or make a new
cable and connect it to the octal with a female-female RJ-45. You may want
to invest in a decent break-out box and learn how to use it.
This is just one of the many things the CCIE doesn't cover but you should
know how to do to be a real expert. If you've never done it before then it
will probably be painful, but you'll have a better understanding of serial
communications.

Guys,
Any idea how I can connect a Cisco 11000 content switch to a 2511 terminal
server.
The 11000 has a D type connector and comes with a D to D cable, I have tried
the D to RJ45 that comes with a normal router but no matter what cable (Roll
over, cross over straight) it does not work.
TIA
