Connecting an ACX5000 Router to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage the ACX5000 router using a dedicated management channel. ACX5000
routers have a minimum of two management ports: a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and a 1-Gbps SFP
ports. Some product SKUs have an additional 1-Gbps SFP port that can be used either for fiber or copper
connections. Use the management ports to connect the ACX5000 router to a network for out-of-band
management.
CAUTION: Configuring the two management interfaces within the same subnet is not
supported.
NOTE: You cannot use the management ports to perform the initial configuration of the ACX5000
router. You must configure the management ports before you can successfully connect to the
ACX5000 router using these ports. See “Initially Configuring the ACX5000 Router” on page 122.
