Connecting The Management Interfaces; Cabling The Management Port - Cisco SCE 8000 Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces

Connecting the Management Interfaces

The Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E is equipped with two active RJ-45 management ports. These 10/100/1000
Ethernet interfaces provide access from a remote management console to the Cisco SCE 8000 via a LAN.
The two management ports provide the possibility for a redundant management interface, thus ensuring
management access to the SCE platform even if there is a failure in one of the management links.
If only one management port is used, the desired port is simply connected directly to the LAN. If both
management ports are used, they must both be connected to the management console via a switch. In this
way, the IP address of the MNG port is always the same, regardless of which physical port is currently
active.
The procedures for cabling the management port and testing connectivity between the Cisco SCE 8000
and the remote management host are explained in the following sections:

Cabling the Management Port

The Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E has two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports that are used as the management ports,
located in slot 1 of the Cisco SCE 8000 chassis, and labeled Port1 and Port2.
Plug the Ethernet cable provided (with attached RJ-45 connector) into the desired 10/100/1000 Ethernet
Step 1
port on the front panel of the Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E in slot 1. (See item 3 in
Figure 5-2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your management network.
Step 2

Make sure that you push on the RJ-45 connector attached to the cable until you hear a click, which
indicates that the connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Gently pull on the plug to
confirm whether the plug is locked into the socket.
