Connecting the PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch to a Management Ethernet Device
To connect the Routing Engines in a PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch to a network for
management of the packet transport switch, connect a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable
with an RJ-45 connector to the HOST/ETHERNET port on a control board.
NOTE: For packet transport switches with two host subsystems, we
recommend that you connect both control boards to a network. One cable
is provided in the accessory box. To connect another cable to the
HOST/ETHERNET port on the other control board, you must provide an
additional cable.
To connect a cable to a network device:
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
CAUTION: During the initial installation before the chassis is grounded,
you must connect to an approved site ESD point. See the instructions for
your site.
2. Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable (Figure 41 on page 90 shows the
connector) into the HOST/ETHERNET port on the control board in slot CB0 (see Figure
42 on page 91). This port connects to the Routing Engine installed into the control
board in slot CB0.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
4. Plug one end of another UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable into the HOST/ETHERNET
port on the control board in slot CB1. This port connects to the Routing Engine installed
into the control boardin slot CB1.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
