Configuring the Management Port
Since there is no separate management port on ML-Series cards, any Fast Ethernet interface (0-11 on the
ML100T-12 card), any Gigabit Ethernet interface (0-1 on the ML1000-2 card), or any POS interface (0-1
on either ML-Series card) can be configured as a management port. For the POS interface to exist, an
STS or STM circuit must first be created through CTC or TL1.
You can remotely configure the ML-Series card through the management port, but first you must
configure an IP address so that the ML-Series card is reachable or load a startup configuration file. You
can manually configure the management port interface from the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI)
via the serial console connection.
To configure Telnet for remote management access, perform the following procedure, beginning in user
EXEC mode:
After you have completed configuring remote management on the management port, you can use Telnet
to remotely assign and verify configurations.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router> enable
Router#
Activates user EXEC (or enable) mode.
The # prompt indicates enable mode.
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Activates global configuration mode. You can abbreviate
the command to config t. The Router(config)# prompt
indicates that you are in global configuration mode.
Step 3
Router(config)# enable password
password
Sets the enable password. See the “Passwords” section
on page 3-7.
Step 4
Router(config)# enable secret password
Allows you to enter an enable secret password. See the
“Passwords” section on page 3-7. A user must enter the
enable secret password to gain access to global
configuration mode.
Step 5
Router(config)# interface type number
Router(config-if)#
Activates interface configuration mode on the interface.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# ip address
ip-address subnetmask
Allows you to enter the IP address and IP subnet mask
for the interface specified in Step 5.
Step 7
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enables the interface.
Step 8
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 9
Router(config)# line vty line-number
Router(config-line)#
Activates line configuration mode for virtual terminal
connections. Commands entered in this mode control the
operation of Telnet sessions to the ML-Series card.
Step 10
Router(config-line)# password password
Allows you to enter a password for Telnet sessions.
Step 11
Router(config-line)# end
Router#
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 12
Router# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to
NVRAM.
