that you can use a network workstation to manage and configure the router. When you use a direct
connection to the Console port, CLI commands are entered at a terminal or at a computer running
terminal emulation software. A direct Console port connection is useful for entering initial
configurations and performing some debugging tasks.
After the initial configuration, most router management and configuration sessions use a Telnet session
over an Ethernet network connected to the Management Ethernet interface. SNMP agents and the CWI
also use the network connection.
The modem connection can be used for remote communications with the router and serves as an alternate
remote communications path if the Management Ethernet interface fails.
