Replacing the Management Ethernet Cable on the M10i Routing Engine

To connect the Routing Engine to a network for out-of-band management, connect an Ethernet cable with RJ-45/RJ-45 connectors to the MGMT port on the Routing Engine. One such cable is provided with the router. For cable specifications, see Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications for M10i Routers:

To replace the management Ethernet cable:

1. If a cable is already installed in the MGMT port for the relevant Routing Engine:
   1. Press the tab on the connector and pull the connector straight out of the port. Figure 1 shows the connector.
   2. Disconnect the cable from the network device.
2. Plug one end of the replacement Ethernet cable into the appropriate MGMT port. Figure 2 shows the external device ports on the CIP. The ports labeled HOST 0 connect to the Routing Engine in the upper Routing Engine slot (RE0), and the ports labeled HOST 1 connect to the Routing Engine in the lower Routing Engine slot (RE1).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
