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
portsbeforeyoucansuccessfullyconnecttotheACX5000 routerusingthese
ports. See “Configuring an ACX5000 Router” on page 125.
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See “Cable Specifications for Console
and Management Connections for an ACX5000 Router” on page 93 and “Interface
Specifications for SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ Transceivers for an ACX5000 Router” on
page 62.
To connect a ACX5000 router to a network for out-of-band management (see
Figure 43 on page 123):
1. Connect one end of the cable to one of the management ports (labeled C0 and
C1) on the ACX5000 router.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the management router (see
Figure 43 on page 123).
