Routing Engine Interface Ports

Three ports, located on the right side of the Routing Engine, connect the Routing Engine to one or more
external devices on which system administrators can issue Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands
to manage the router.
The ports with the indicated labels function as follows:
AUX—Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device through a serial cable
with an RJ-45 connector.
CONSOLE—Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a serial cable with an RJ-45
connector.
ETHERNET or MGMT—Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a management
LAN (or any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port
uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps connections. Two small LEDs
on the right of the port indicate the connection in use: The LED on the left indicates speed—green for
1000-Mbps, yellow for 100-Mbps and when the LED is dark, it indicates 10-Mbps speed. The LED on
the right indicates activity—flashing green when packets are passing through the port.
