ASR9xx USB Console Drivers: Installation, Updates, and Troubleshooting

  1. Extract the ZIP to a folder like C:\CiscoDrivers\asr9xx_upd.
  2. Connect the USB cable from your PC to the "CONSOLE USB" port on the ASR9k RP.
  3. Open Device Manager (Win+X > M).
  4. Look for "Cisco ASR9xx USB Console" under "Other devices" with a yellow exclamation.
  5. Right-click > Update driver > Browse my computer for drivers.
  6. Point to the extracted folder. Check "Include subfolders."
  7. You may see a Windows Security warning about an unsigned driver. This is common with older asr9xx packages, but the upd version should include a Microsoft-signed catalog file (.cat). Approve the installation.
  8. Reboot your PC. (Required for the upd to fully replace legacy driver signatures).

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers feature a USB Type-B console port in addition to the standard RJ-45 serial port. This allows for management connectivity via a USB cable rather than a traditional serial cable.

“upd”

Alternatively, use the direct search string on Cisco’s support forum: look for a sticky post titled “USB Console Driver for ASR9k RP.” Cisco’s current naming convention has evolved, but the legacy package asr9xxusbconsoledrivers.zip is still available. The version typically has a date stamp (e.g., asr9xx_usb_console_driver_2024_upd.zip ). asr9xxusbconsoledriverszip upd
