Management port cabling for network access

The MGMT port provides network access to the SmartNA-X web UI and CLI management interfaces.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the MGMT port, and the other end to your network switch.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to a switch that allows access to networked management workstations. The default IP
address for SmartNA-X is 192.168.254.100.

Accessing the management interfaces

You can use a web browser or command line interface to configure SmartNA-X operations, including system settings,
user accounts, port configuration, and packet distribution from network ports to tool ports.
There are two ways to access the web and command line management interfaces:
• Locally, via a serial connection to the CONSOLE port.
• Remotely, via a HTTPS or SSH network connection to the MGMT port.

Connecting locally using the supplied serial cable

You can set up a local connection to SmartNA-X by attaching the supplied serial cable to the CONSOLE port and
connecting it to a PC running a terminal program. Local connections provide access to the CLI only.
1. Connect the supplied DE-9 female to 8P8C (RJ45) serial management cable to the SmartNA-X CONSOLE port and
the PC's serial port.
2. The SmartNA-X username prompt should be displayed on your terminal screen. If it is not, make sure the console
serial port is configured as follows:
• Baud Rate: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Parity: None
3. Enter your SmartNA-X administrator username and password to login:
