Telnetting to a Management Port
Figure 3-2 CTC Node View Showing IP Address and Slot Number
Step 3 Use the IP address and the total of the slot number plus 2000 as the Telnet address in your preferred
communication program. For example, for an IP address of 10.92.18.12 4 and Slot 13, you would enter
or telnet 10.92.18.124 2013.
Telnetting to a Management Port
Users can access the ML-Series through a standard Cisco IOS management port in the sa me manner as
other Cisco IOS platforms. For further details about configuring ports and lines for managem ent access,
refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
As a security measure, the vty lines used for Telnet access are not fully configured. In order to gain
Telnet access to the ML-Series card, you must configure the vty lines via the serial console connection
or preload a startup-configuration file that configures the vty lines. A port on the ML-Series must first
be configured as the management port; see “Configuring the Management Port” section on page 3-8.
ML-Series IOS CLI Console Port
The ML-Series card has an RJ-11 serial console port on the card faceplate labeled CONSOL E. The
console port is wired as data circuit-terminating equipmen t (DCE). It enables communication from the
serial port of a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software to the Cisco IOS CLI on a specific
ML-Series card.
