Connecting the Switch to the Network

If you copied the private subnet and mask from the defunct switch, this
completes the switch replacement. Otherwise, the new switch learns its
private subnet from its peer, re-configures itself, and reboots.
Note
A reboot is necessary to change the private subnet of an ARX.
Restoring to an ARX-2500 Pair
There is a special consideration you must take into account when restoring a
configuration to an ARX-2500 pair, if the configuration changes the setting
of the
resource-profile command.
After you replay the running-config, you must reboot the switch in order for
the
resource-profile legacy setting to take effect.
For detailed configuration instructions, consult the ARX® CLI
Network-Management Guide .
Connecting the Out-of-Band Management Port
After you boot the switch, you can connect the Ethernet out-of-band
management port to a management station or network. To locate the
management port, see
Figure 3.1 . You can use this port to access the GUI
(ARX Manager) or the CLI.
To access ARX Manager, direct a web browser to the interface over
HTTPS. For example:
https://10.1.23.11/
To log in, enter the crypto-officer username and password, as entered in the
initial-boot script.
To access the CLI, use SSH with the interface and the crypto-officer
username, for example:
ssh admin@10.1.23.11
For instructions on getting starting with ARX Manager, see the ARX GUI
Quick Start: Network Setup . For instructions and best practices for using the
CLI, see the ARX® CLI Network-Management Guide .
