Clear text passwords cannot include the dollar sign ($) special character.
Note
If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software rejects the password
configuration. Be sure to configure a strong password as explained in this step. Passwords are case sensitive.
Tip
If you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 4 Reenter the password.
When you enter the same password, the software accepts the password .
Step 5 Enter the IP address for the management interface.
Step 6 Enter a network mask for the management interface.
Step 7 The software asks if you need to edit the configuration. Enter no to not edit the configuration.
Step 8 The software asks if you need to save the configuration. Enter yes to save the configuration.
Connect to the Management Ethernet Port
The management Ethernet port provides out-of-band management, which enables you to use the command-line
interface (CLI) to manage the router by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection with
an RJ-45 interface.
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management Ethernet port until the initial configuration
is complete.
Note
To connect cables to the system management port, attach Category 5 cables directly to the RJ-45 receptacle
on the management Ethernet port.
To comply with GR-1089-CORE, Railway EN 50121, Smartgrid IEC 61850, and IEEE 1613, the intra-building
port(s) of the equipment must use shielded intra-building cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.
Note
Before you begin
You must have completed the initial router configuration.
Procedure
Step 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2 Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
