Connect to the Management Ethernet Port

Connect to the Management Ethernet Port
The management Ethernet port provides out-of-band management, which enables you to use the command-line
interface (CLI) to manage the router by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection with
an RJ-45 interface.
Note
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management Ethernet port until the initial configuration
is complete.
To connect cables to the system management port, attach Category 5 cables directly to the RJ-45 receptacle
on the management Ethernet port.
