Connect to the Management Ethernet Port

The management Ethernet port provides out-of-band management, which enables you to use the command-line

interface (CLI) to manage the router by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection with

Note

To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management Ethernet port until the initial configuration

is complete.

To connect cables to the system management port, attach Category 5 cables directly to the RJ-45 receptacle

on the management Ethernet port.
