Connect To A Network For Out-Of-Band Management - Juniper PTX5000 Quick Start Manual

Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

To connect the Routing Engines in a PTX5000 to a network for management of the PTX5000, connect a
UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector to the HOST/ETHERNET port on a Control Board.
NOTE: For PTX5000 routers with two host subsystems, we recommend that you connect both
Control Boards to a network. One cable is provided in the accessory box. To connect another cable
to the HOST/ETHERNET port on the other Control Board, you must provide an additional cable.
To connect a cable to a network device:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
CAUTION:
connect to an approved site ESD point. See the instructions for your site.
2. Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable
HOST/ETHERNET port on the Control Board in slot CB0 (see
to the Routing Engine installed into the Control Board in slot CB0.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
4. Plug one end of another UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable into the HOST/ETHERNET port on the Control
Board in slot CB1. This port connects to the Routing Engine installed into the Control Board in slot
CB1.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
