Advanced Configuration and Modification of the
Management Ethernet Interface
This module describes the configuration of Management Ethernet interfaces.
Before you can use Telnet to access the router through the LAN IP address, you must set up a Management
Ethernet interface and enable Telnet servers, as described in the
Configuring General Router Features
module
of the
System Setup and Software Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers
. This module describes
how to modify the default configuration of the Management Ethernet interface after it has been configured,
as described in
System Setup and Software Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers
.
Forwarding between physical layer interface modules (PLIM) ports and Management Ethernet interface ports
is disabled by default. To enable forwarding between PLIM ports and Management Ethernet interface ports,
use the
rp mgmtethernet forwarding
command.
Note
Although the Management Ethernet interfaces on the system are present by default, the user must configure
these interfaces to use them for accessing the router, using protocols and applications such as Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), HTTP, extensible
markup language (XML), TFTP, Telnet, and command-line interface (CLI).
