M10i Routing Engine Interface Ports
Each Routing Engine has a set of ports for connecting to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands to manage the router (see M10i Routing Engine 850 LEDs).
The ports with the indicated label in each set function as follows:
- AUX/MODEM— Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device through an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable.
- MGMT—Connects the Routing Engine through
an Ethernet connection to a management LAN (or any other device that
plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The
port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support both 10- and 100-Mbps
connections.
To the left of each MGMT port is a link status indicator, which lights to show that a link has been established over the Ethernet connection. To the right of each MGMT port is an activity indicator, which flashes when data is being transferred.
- CONSOLE—Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through an RS-232 (EIA-232) serial cable.
For information about the pinouts for the connectors, see RJ-45 Connector Pinouts for the M10i Routing Engine MGMT Port.
