Replace the Management Ethernet Cable

The cable that plugs into the port labeled MANAGEMENT ETHERNET on the craft interface connects the Routing Engine to a network for out-of-band management (see Figure 88). The port accepts a cable with RJ-45/RJ-45 connectors, which is provided with the router as detailed in Routing Engine Interface Cable and Wire Specifications.

To replace the cable connecting to a management network, follow this procedure:

1. If a cable is already installed in the MANAGEMENT ETHERNET port, perform the following steps:

1. Press the tab on the connector and pull the connector straight out of the port. Figure 89 shows the connector.
2. Repeat to disconnect the cable from the network device.

2. Plug one end of the replacement Ethernet cable into the MANAGEMENT ETHERNET port.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
