Connecting an MX10016 to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage an MX10016 using a dedicated management channel. Each Routing and
Control Board (RCB) of an MX10016 has two management ports: a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port for
copper connections and a 1-Gigabit SFP port for fiber connections. Use the management ports to connect
the RCB to a network for out-of-band management.
NOTE: You cannot use the management ports to perform the initial configuration of an MX10016.
You must configure the management ports before you can successfully connect to the MX10016
using these ports. See “Configuring an MX10016 Router” on page 152 .
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See “Cable Specifications for Console and Management
Connections” on page 116 .
To connect an MX10016 to a network for out-of-band management (see Figure 55 on page 151 ):
1. Connect one end of the cable to one of the two management ports (labeled MGMT) on one of the
RCBs.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the management device.
