The rest of this section describes how to connect to the IntraCore 8000 using either out-of-band or in-band management.

Out-of-Band Management

Out-of-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and monitor the IntraCore 8000 and all of the installed modules. You can perform these functions by attaching a terminal (or a terminal emulator) to the Console port on the management engine and using the menu-driven Local Management Interface.

Out-of-band network management is guaranteed even when the in-band Ethernet network is down.

To access the IntraCore 8000 Local Management Interface using out-of-band management, first follow the procedure in “Connecting To a Console” (above), then go on to the “Local Management Interface” section in Chapter 3.
