Management Ports

Note: This section applies to all ERX routers.

The Console section of the SRP I/O module has two ports for management access. (See Figure 24 and Figure 25.)

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing an out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session or SNMP.
The RS-232 port accepts a DB-9 (female) connector for direct CLI access from a console terminal.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a crossover cable.
