Management Port Addressing

Management of the ETEP is performed out-of-band or in-line through the Ethernet management port. The ETEP management port must have an assigned IP address in order to be managed remotely and communicate with other devices. The IP address that you enter in ETEMS must match the IP address in effect on the appliance’s management port.
