Configuring In-Band Management
You can configure in-band management in order to manage the unit remotely via its radio and/or Ethernet
interfaces.
Note
Before configuring in-band management, it is recommended to review the configuration
recommendations for in-band management listed in

Each PTP 850E unit includes a pre-defined management service with Service ID 1025. The management service is a
multipoint service that connects the two local management ports and the network element host CPU in a single
service. In order to enable in-band management, you must add at least one service point to the management
service, in the direction of the remote site or sites from which you want to access the unit for management.
Note
In order to use in-band management, it must be supported on the external switch.
