Resilient Overlay Network (RON)
You can connect multiple ARXes together in a Resilient Overlay Network (RON). A
RON is composed of a series of IP tunnels between the switches. You can use the CLI

See the CLI Network-Management Guide and CLI Reference Guide for information
about configuring RON tunnels.
Switch Management
For local and remote management, the ARX provides the following management

• Inband Ethernet interfaces for accessing the CLI your client or server networks.
