1.10 Access During Initial Startup and Reload Operations
During the initial startup, only the operable console port is the one labeled
ENET MGMT on the XCRP4 Controller card. During a reload operation, the
management port is disabled until the initial stage of the reload is complete; all
messages displayed during the reload are sent to the console port.
You access the SmartEdge 600 router with a terminal connected to the console
port, either directly or through a terminal server.
For information about configuring cards, ports, and circuits, see configuration
documents located at h
ttps://ebusiness.ericsson.net.
1.11 Access During Normal Operations
After you have configured the management port, you can use one or more of
the following options to provide management access:
• A local management workstation, using a connection to the Ethernet
management port on a controller card
• A remote management workstation, using a routed or bridged connection
to the Ethernet management port on a controller card
• A local console terminal with a direct connection to the Craft port on a
controller card
• A remote console terminal with a connection to the Craft port on a controller
card, using a terminal server or a modem
For redundancy, we recommend using two different methods (for example,
a remote workstation and a remote console terminal with a connection to
a terminal server). Further, if the configuration of the SmartEdge 600 router
includes redundant controller cards, you should use the same means of access
to connect each controller card, so that consistent management access, despite
a failure, is guaranteed.
