Note No blanks or spaces are permitted as part of a name. Do not expect case to be preserved. Uppercase and lowercase characters look the same to many Internet software applications. It may seem appropriate to capitalize a name the same way you might if you were writing, but conventions dictate that computer names appear all lowercase. For more information, see RFC 1178, Choosing a Name for Your Computer.

Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface

The Management Ethernet interface on the RSPs is used to connect the router to a network for remote management using a Telnet client, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other management agents. The following sections provide information on the Management Ethernet interface:

•Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands, page 3-33

•Viewing the Available Management Ethernet Interfaces, page 3-34

•Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface, page 3-35

Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface Name in CLI Commands

Before you can configure the Management Ethernet interface, you must know the Management Ethernet interface name, which is defined using the following syntax: typerack/slot/module/port. Table 3-6describes the Management Ethernet interface name syntax.

Table 3-6 Management Ethernet Interface Name Syntax Description

			Syntax Components		Description
			type		Interface type for a Management Ethernet port is “MgmtEth.”
			rack		Chassis number of the rack. In a single-shelf system, the rack is always
					“0.”
			slot		Physical slot of the RSP on which the interface is located. For a Cisco ASR
					9000 Series	router, the RSP slot is “RSP0” or “RSP1.”
			module		On an RSP, the module is “CPU0.” RSPs have two processors, so the
					module is either “CPU0” and “CPU1.”
			port		On a Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, one Ethernet port labeled MGMT
					ETH exists on each RSP. Specify 0 for the MGMT ETH interface on an
					RSP.
			Table 3-7provides examples of Management Ethernet interface names for a single-shelf system. The
			Management Ethernet interfaces are listed with the prefix Mg in the Intf Name column.
