Attaching a management station
You can manage your router in the following ways:
• Connect a PC or terminal to the console port on the management module. From this port, you
can assign an IP address to the management module and establish connections through
Telnet or SSH.
• Connect the router to your existing management network and manage the router and other
network devices from a management station.
NOTE
The management network that you connect to through the 10/100 Ethernet port must be
separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed. For
information about functionality on the management port, Refer to “Understanding
management port functions” on page 317.
