I/O Modules

Most line modules have a corresponding input/output (I/O) module that provides the physical interconnection to the network. Insert each I/O module in the back of the system, directly behind its corresponding line module. For information about which line modules pair with which I/O modules, see Appendix B, Module Specifications. For details about installing I/O modules, see Chapter 3, Installing ERX Modules.

Network Management Tools

You can use different management tools to configure the system to meet the specific networking requirements.

CLI Management

The CLI provides fully developed and automated configuration and status functionality through a local RS-232 port, an Ethernet connection, or Telnet through any reachable network. For a full discussion of the CLI, see ERX System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command Line Interface.

SNMP MIB Management

The system offers a complete SNMP interface for configuration, status, and alarm reporting. The system supports both Standard and Enterprise MIBs (Management Information Bases). The ERX Enterprise MIB is ASN.1 notated for easy importing into third-party SNMP management applications. For more information, see ERX System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, Configuring SNMP.

NMC-RX Device Management System

The NMX-RX application provides a global method of managing all edge routers, line modules, and ports.

Redundancy Features

The system has the following redundancy features:

SRP Modules

The SRP module uses a 1:1 redundancy scheme. When two SRP modules of the same type are installed in the system chassis, one acts as a primary and the second as a standby. Both SRP modules share a single
