Management Interfaces
As stated earlier, the switch provides the following management ports:
• Console - Serial Console port for connecting a console terminal, and
• Mgmt - 10/100 Ethernet port for connecting an out-of-band (OOB)
management station
Figure 6.1 ARX®1000 Front Panel View
During the initial-boot process described in this chapter, you can only access
the serial (Console) port. You configure the OOB management port
(“MGMT”) as part of the procedures in this chapter.
Connecting the Console Port
Set the following console-terminal parameters to match those on the
Console port:
• 9600 baud rate (default)
• XON-XOFF flow control
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit parity
Connect the console terminal to the serial Console port (RJ-45) on the front
panel. An RJ-45 to DB9 adapter is included in the installation kit if you
want to connect to your management station’s serial DB9 port.
