Connecting the Management Ethernet Interface

The management Ethernet interface is an auto-sensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T RJ-

45 interface. It helps you to upgrade software and manage the router through a network

management server. It is not a service interface, and therefore, it cannot send or receive data.

You can connect the management Ethernet interface to the configuration terminal with a

straight-through cable or crossover cable.

Follow these steps to connect the management Ethernet interface to the configuration terminal:

Step1

Turn off the power switches on all power modules of the router. Connect the RJ-45 connector

of the console cable to the console port on the router and the DB-9 (female) connector to the

serial interface on the configuration terminal.

Step2

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the management Ethernet interface on the router, and

the other end to the Ethernet interface on the configuration terminal.
