Connecting the MX104 Router to Management Devices
To connect external devices and cables to the router, you need the following tools:
•
RJ-45 Ethernet cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter (provided)
•
Management host, such as a PC, with an Ethernet port (not provided)
The following topics provide instructions for connecting the router to management
devices:

Connecting the Router to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
To connect to the ETHERNET port on the MX104 Routing Engine:
1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the MGMT port on the Routing Engine.
(Figure 30 on page 121 shows the connector. Figure 31 on page 122 shows the port.)
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
