Connecting the SRX5400 Firewall to a Management Console or an
Auxiliary Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the appropriate
CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to
the AUX port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept a cable with an RJ-45 connector. One serial
cable with an RJ-45 connector and a DB-9 connector is provided with the firewall. To connect a device
to the CONSOLE port and another device to the AUX port, you must supply an additional cable.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable
port or CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine.
