Management Port - Avaya 8800 Planning And Engineering

Management port

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 provides an isolated management port on the
switch fabric/CPU. This separates user traffic from management traffic in highly sensitive
environments, such as brokerages and insurance agencies. By using this dedicated network
(see the following figure) to manage the switches, and by configuring access policies (when
routing is enabled), you can manage the switch in a secure fashion.

You can also use the terminal servers/modems to access the console/modems ports on the
switch (see the following figure).
