• Connecting to the 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseTX port for connectivity to your existing
management network. You can then access the router and configure, monitor, and manage the
system from a management station.
NOTE
The existing management network into which you can connect the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port
must be separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed.
For information about the functionality of the management port, refer to “Understanding
management port functions” on page 217.
For information about connecting a PC to the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, refer to “Attaching a
management station” on page 122.
The out-of-band management port provides access to a separate system management network,
and allows you to do the following tasks:
• Access the router through Telnet, the Web management interface, or the Brocade Network
Advisor software.
• Access a TFTP server to perform system upgrade tasks.
• Provides SNMP polling access, as well as sending SNMP traps.
• Send Syslog packets.
• Access the system through RADIUS AAA.
