Connecting to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

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 craft interface. One such cable is provided with the router. For cable specifications, see Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications:

1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (Figure 44 shows the connector) into the appropriate MGMT port on the craft interface. Figure 43 shows the external device ports on the craft interface. The upper ports connect to the Routing Engine in the upper Routing Engine slot (RE0), and the lower ports connect to the Routing Engine in the lower Routing Engine slot (RE1).
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
