Connecting the M7i Router to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
To connect the Routing Engine to a network for out-of-band management, insert an
Ethernet cable with RJ-45/RJ-45 connectors into the
MGMT
port on the Routing Engine.
One such cable is provided with the router (see “Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire
Specifications for the M7i Router” on page 179). Follow this procedure:
1.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (Figure 27 on page 54 shows the connector) into
the
MGMT
port on the Routing EngineFigure 28 on page 54 shows the layout of the
ports on the Routing Engine.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.

Connecting the M7i Router to a Management Console or Auxiliary Device
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
CONSOLE
port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device,
connect it to the
AUX/MODEM
port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept an RS-232
(EIA-232) serial cable with DB-9/DB-9 connectors. One such cable is provided with the
router. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable. See
“Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications for the M7i Router” on page 179.
To connect a management console or auxiliary device:
1.
Turn off the power to the console or auxiliary device.
2.
Plug the female end (shown in Figure 29 on page 54) of the provided console cable
into the
CONSOLE
or
AUX/MODEM
port. “Connecting the M7i Router to a Network for
Out-of-Band Management” on page 54 shows the layout of the ports on the Routing
Engine.
3.
Tighten the screws on the connector.
