Connect the PTX3000 to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
To connect the Routing Engines in a PTX3000 Packet Transport Router to a network for
management of the packet transport router, connect a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable
with an RJ-45 connector to the
HOST/ETHERNET
port on a Control Board.
NOTE:
For packet transport routers with two host subsystems, we
recommend that you connect both Control Boards to a network. One cable
is provided in the accessory box. To connect another cable to the
HOST/ETHERNET
port on the other Control Board, you must provide an
additional cable.
To connect a cable to a network device:
1.
To connect the packet transport router to external devices, you need an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap (provided in the accessory box).
2.
Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD
point on the chassis.
CAUTION:
During the initial installation before the chassis is grounded,
you must connect the wrist strap to an approved site ESD point. See the
instructions for your site.
3.
Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable (
shows the
connector) into the
HOST/ETHERNET
port on the Control Board in slot
CB0
(see
). This port connects to the Routing Engine installed into the
Control Board in slot
CB0
.
4.
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
