Connecting the PTX5000 to a Management Ethernet Device

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.
