Accessing the ERX
System
This chapter provides information on the various ways you can access the
system to manage it. Managing your router includes both configuring
and monitoring it. For basic information on the management of the
system, see ERX System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 4,
Managing the System.
Setting Up Management Access
Before you power up the system, you must set up a management console.
The console allows you to communicate with the system during the
power-up process and to manage the system using the command line
interface (CLI).
You can manage and monitor the system by accessing it in the following
ways:
• Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly to
the system’s RS-232 serial port (DTE).
• Connect the system’s 10/100Base-T port on the SRP I/O module to an
Ethernet network, and run Telnet from a remote console.
