Replacing the M40e Management Ethernet Cable

The ports on the CIP connect the Routing Engine to external management devices (see Figure 1).

For cable specifications, see Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications for the M40e Router. To replace the management Ethernet Cable:

1. Press the tab on the connector and pull the connector straight out of the ETHERNET port. Figure 2 shows the connector.
2. Disconnect the cable from the network device.
3. Plug one end of the replacement cable into the appropriate ETHERNET port.Figure 1 shows the external device ports on the CIP. The ports labeled HOST 0 connect to the Routing Engine in the upper Routing Engine slot (RE 0), and the ports labeled HOST 1 connect to the Routing Engine in the lower Routing Engine slot (RE 1).
4. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
