“Verifying proper operation”
Attaching a management station
You can manage your router in the following ways:
•
Connect a PC or terminal to the console port on the management module. From this port, you can assign an IP address to the
management module and establish connections through Telnet or SSH.
•
Connect the router to your existing management network and manage the router and other network devices from a management
station.
NOTE
The management network that you connect to through the 10/100 Ethernet port must be separate and isolated from the
network over which user packets are switched and routed. For information about functionality on the management port,
Refer to
“Understanding management port functions”
on page 206.
Attaching a PC or terminal to the console port
or the Ethernet port
You can attach a PC or terminal to either the console port (which has a male DB-9 serial connector), or the 10/100/1000 or 1000Base TX
Ethernet port (which has an RJ45 UTP connector) on the management module. From the console port, you can access the router CLI
directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can access the router CLI or Web
management interface directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection.
Before performing this task, you need the following items:
•
PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.
