Access the System Remotely
You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet.
The systems have a dedicated management port and a management routing table
that is separate from the IP routing table.
Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process:
Configure the Management Port IP Address
Assign IP addresses to the management ports.
NOTE: Assign different IP addresses to each RPM’s management port.
Configure a Management Route
Define a path from the system to the network from which you are accessing the
system remotely. Management routes are separate from IP routes and are only
used to manage the system through the management port.
Step Task
1 Configure an IP address for the management port.
