Question regarding connection to router @work

BigTone

We were doing some work in our server room over the weekend because they were replacing a transformer in our building and we actually a chance to move servers and clean up our racks a bit. We don't have any managable routers in our office, our ISP handles everything. I never really took a look at the cisco we have in there before.. But I noticed that it has a cable coming from the demarc and goes into the console port on the 2600 router. Then we have a cable from the Fast ethernet port to our switches.

I've never heard of this and haven't seen it before it my cisco studies... But from putting everything together, it looks like we're getting our WAN link from the console port on the router? Anyone able to tell me how this is possible? Just curious.

Just a guess but is it possible that you have more then that one connection then the one in the picture? And is it possible that some Joe disconnected it and then just plugged it back in to one that he thought looked good? I work with some people like this and am wondering if that is correct.

Heh, it never fails
