Final steps

Complete these steps in the order in which they are listed:

•“Attaching a management station”

•“Activating the power source”

•“Verifying proper operation”

Attaching a management station

You can manage your router in the following ways:

•Connect a PC or terminal to the console port on the management module. From this port, you can assign an IP address to the management module and establish connections through Telnet or SSH.

•Connect the router to your existing management network and manage the router and other network devices from a management station.

NOTE

The management network that you connect to through the 10/100 Ethernet port must be separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed. For information about functionality on the management port, Refer to “Understanding management port functions” on page 317.

Attaching a PC or terminal to the console port or Ethernet port

You can attach a PC or terminal to either the console port (which has a male DB-9 serial connector), or the 10/100/1000 or 1000Base TX Ethernet port (which has an RJ45 UTP connector) on the management module. From the console port, you can access the router CLI directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can access the router CLI or Web management interface directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection.

Before performing this task, have the following items available:

•PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.

•For console port connections, a straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable with one end terminated in a female DB-9 connector and the other end terminated in a male or female DB-9 or DB-25 connector, depending on the specifications of your PC or terminal. You can order this cable from Brocade or build your own cable. If you build your own cable, refer to the pinout information in “Console port pin assignments” on page 390.
