Juniper Networks IDP250 manual USB Port, Serial Console Port, Management Interface Port

Chapter 1: Hardware Overview

USB Port

The appliance has a USB port you can use to reimage the appliance, if necessary.

Serial Console Port

The console serial port provides access, using an RJ-45 connector, to the command-line interface (CLI).

NOTE: Although both the console serial port and the management port use RJ-45 connectors, do not plug the network cable into the console serial port.

Management Interface Port

The management interface port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port. In the configuration and logs, the port is eth0. Use this port as a dedicated management port, connecting the device to a switch accessible by your management subnet.

The IP address you assign the management port is the IP address you use to connect to the Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) when you initially configure the device. It is also the address the Network and Security Manager (NSM) uses to connect to the device.

Figure 2 on page 5 shows the management interface port LEDs.
