lowercase characters look the same to many Internet software applications. It may seem appropriate to
capitalize a name the same way you might if you were writing, but conventions dictate that computer

Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface

The Management Ethernet interface on the RSPs is used to connect the router to a network for remote
management using a Telnet client, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other
management agents. The following sections provide information on the Management Ethernet interface:

Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands

Before you can configure the Management Ethernet interface, you must know the Management Ethernet
interface name, which is defined using the following syntax: typerack/slot/module/port.

Management Ethernet Interface Name Syntax Description
Description
Interface type for a Management Ethernet port is "MgmtEth."
Chassis number of the rack. In a single-shelf system, the rack is always
"0."
Physical slot of the RSP on which the interface is located. For a Cisco ASR
9000 Series router, the RSP slot is "RSP0" or "RSP1."
On an RSP, the module is "CPU0." RSPs have two processors, so the
module is either "CPU0" and "CPU1."
On a Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, one Ethernet port labeled MGMT
ETH exists on each RSP. Specify 0 for the MGMT ETH interface on an
RSP.
