The CDD-564A/L has a Dedicated Management Port function.
Using a single Ethernet port for both demodulator M&C and user data traffic causes many security issues
and difficulties. A Dedicated Management Port mitigates the issues caused by converging two networks
into a single port.
When you use the Dedicated Management Port, the CDD-564A/L uses the demodulator's onboard 10/100
Ethernet M&C port for M&C access, and uses the IP Packet Processor 10/100 Ethernet Traffic port for
Ethernet traffic data traffic. This separates the M&C and traffic networks, and restricts user access to the
dedicated port for demodulator M&C. See Figure C-1.
The Dedicated Management Port is available in the Router Point-to-Point, Router Point-to-Multipoint and
Vipersat working modes.
The screens shown here are only examples. The appearance of your CLI interface will likely vary from
these examples, depending on your system configuration and the terminal emulator that you use.
