Final steps
Complete these steps in the order in which they are listed:
•
“Attaching a management station”

•
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
Attaching a PC or terminal to the console port or Ethernet port
You can attach a PC or terminal to either the console port (which has a male DB-9 serial
connector), or the 10/100/1000 or 1000Base TX Ethernet port (which has an RJ45 UTP
connector) on the management module. From the console port, you can access the router CLI
directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can
access the router CLI or Web management interface directly from the PC or terminal or through a
Telnet connection.
Before performing this task, have the following items available:
•
PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.
•
For console port connections, a straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable with one end
terminated in a female DB-9 connector and the other end terminated in a male or female DB-9
or DB-25 connector, depending on the specifications of your PC or terminal. You can order this
cable from Brocade or build your own cable. If you build your own cable, refer to the pinout
information in
