The rest of this section describes how to connect to the IntraCore 6524 using
either out-of-band or in-band management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and
monitor the IntraCore 6524 and all of the installed modules. You can perform
these functions by attaching a terminal (or a terminal emulator) to the Console
port on the management engine and using the menu-driven Local Management
Interface.
Out-of-band network management is guaranteed even when the in-band
Ethernet network is down.
To access the IntraCore 6524 Local Management Interface using out-of-band
management, first follow the procedure in “Connecting To a Console” (above),
then follow the instructions in “Local Management Interface” on page 3-2.
