Management Options
The IntraChassis 9000 can be managed using any of the following methods:
Table 2-4 Management Methods
The remaining sections of this chapter describe how to connect to the
IntraChassis 9000 using either out-of-band or in-band management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and
monitor the IntraChassis 9000 and all of the installed modules. You can
perform these functions by attaching a terminal (or a terminal emulator) to the
Console port on the management engine and using the menu-driven Local
Management Interface.
Out-of-band network management is guaranteed even when the in-band
Ethernet network is down.
To access the IntraChassis 9000 Local Management Interface using out-of-band
management, first follow the procedure in “Connecting To a Console” and then
go on to the “Management Interface” section, later in this chapter.
