Installing the Software 25
The C150 and C300 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 in order to access the system
remotely.
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.
2 Configure a management route with a default gateway.
3 Configure a username and password.
