Connecting The Management Interface; How To Cable The Management Port - Cisco SCE 1000 Installation And Configuration Manual

Connecting the Management Interface

Connecting the Management Interface
The SCE platform is equipped with two RJ-45 management (MNG) ports. These ports provide access
from a remote management console to the SCE platform 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 SCE 1000 and the
remote management host are explained in the following sections:

How to Cable the Management Port

The SCE 1000 has two management ports, labeled Mng1 and Mng 2.
Step 1 Take the Ethernet cable provided (with attached RJ-45 connector) and plug it into the desired MNG port
on the front panel of the SCE 1000, as shown in
Figure 5-2

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your management network.

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.
