Network Management Ports - Oracle Acme Packet 4600 Hardware Installation And Maintenance Manual

Network Management Ports

The Acme Packet 4600 has three network management ports located on the
left side of the chassis, labeled Mgmt 0 Mgmt 1 Mgmt 2. These 10/100/1000
Base-T Ethernet ports are used for EMS control, RADIUS accounting, CLI
management, SNMP queries and traps, and other management functions.
Ethernet LED
Each network management Ethernet port has two integrated
LEDs: one LED indicates Link, and the other indicates
Activity. The LED pair is located directly above its associated
port.
Link LED
The link LED is located to the top left side of the network management Ethernet port.
This LED illuminates yellow when a link has been established between the link partner
device and the Acme Packet 4600.
Activity LED
The activity LED is located at the top right side of the network management Ethernet
port. The activity LED illuminates green when an Ethernet connection has either
transmit or receive packet activity.
Upon initial bootup of the Acme Packet 4600, the network management Ethernet
ports are not configured. You must first connect to the Acme Packet 4600 over
a serial connection before you can configure the management Ethernet ports for
use. Set up the management interfaces using the physical and network interface
configuration elements. Refer to the System Configuration chapter of the Acme Packet
Configuration Guide for details.
Once the network management interface is configured, it should be reserved for the
following uses:
• Maintenance activities
• Application log retrieval
• Software upgrades
• System configuration
• Telnet, SSH, SNMP and SFTP connections
