In-band Access
In-band access uses a portion of the bandwidth of the MGX 8220 shelf/BPX T3 connection by
reserving a number of ATM virtual connections for network management functions.
(See Figure3-5.) For this type of connectivity, the control terminal (PC or workstation) is connected
through the BPX network and must support TCP/IP and the in-band port on the BNM must have
been previously configured with an IP address. When using the in-band port to enter CLI commands,
the user interface prompt appears after the user performs a Telnet login to the port’s IP address.
