1 Assign an IP address to the external-management interface. For this, execute
the following procedure. (Refer Table 3-9 for more information about the IP
interface to be configured for the connectivity mode you have selected).
a Run the following command to enable the interface connectivity mode for
the external-management interface:
npu(config)# interface external-mgmt
b Run the following command to assign an IP address to this interface:
npu(config-if)# ip address <ip-address> <subnet-mask>
2 Connect the Ethernet cable to the DATA connector on the front panel of the
NPU. (Refer Table 3-9 for more information about the Ethernet port to be used
for the connectivity mode you have selected).
3 To enable exchange of packets, create IP-level connectivity between the remote
machine and the external-management interface.
4 From the remote terminal, execute the following command to use Telnet/SSH
to access the IP address of the external-management interface:
telnet <ip address of external-management interface>
ssh <ip address of external-management interface>
Refer to “Managing Secure Shell (SSH) Parameters” on page 87 for details on
managing SSH parameter.
5 At the prompt, enter your login ID and password.

IMPORTANT
The in-band connectivity mode is the default connectivity mode; the DATA port and
external-management VLAN are the default Etherent port and IP interface that are configured for
the in-band connectivity mode. The following procedure can be used for accessing the CLI when
the in-band connectivity mode is selected. This procedure is identical for all other connectivity
modes. However, the Ethernet port, VLAN, and IP interface to be configured will differ for the
out-of-band and unified connectivity modes, as listed in Table 3-9.
