When you connect to a brand new router for the first time you need to use a console
connection because there isn't an IP address yet to allow you to connect via telnet.
Its the same thing with switches and hubs. If you don't have an IP address on the box,
you're reduced to using console connections to manage them. No PING, no SNMP, no
telnet.
Does that help?
