Connect an ACX5400 Router to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage the ACX5400 router by using a dedicated management channel. ACX5400
routers have a minimum of two management ports: a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and a 1-Gbps SFP
port. Some models have an additional 1-Gbps SFP port that can be used for either fiber or copper
connections. Use the management ports to connect the ACX5400 router to a network for out-of-band
management.
CAUTION: Do not configure the two management interfaces within the same subnet.
NOTE: You cannot use the management ports to perform the initial configuration of the ACX5400
router. You must configure the management ports before you can successfully connect to the
ACX5400 router using these ports. See “Perform Initial Software Configuration for the ACX5448,
ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M Routers” on page 109.
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See “ACX5448, ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M Network
Cable and Transceiver Planning” on page 73.
To connect a ACX5400 router to a network for out-of-band management (see Figure 70 on page 108):
1. Connect one end of the cable to one of the management ports (labeled MGMT on the ACX5400 router.
