Access the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The method for configuring the C-Series and
E-Series for Telnet access is different from S-Series.
• The C-Series and E-Series have a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is
separate from the IP routing table.
• The S-Series does not have a dedicated management port, but is managed from any port. It does not
have a separate management routing table.
