LAN Connection for the Network Management Station
If the network is large or extensive network statistics are needed, an Ethernet port (LAN port) should be
used. Larger networks produce a greater flow of statistics data between the node and the Cisco WAN
Manager workstation, so a higher-speed Ethernet port is suitable. Figure 3-18 illustrates this connection.
Accessing a node over an Internet connection requires the operator to use the cnflan command to enter
the IP address, IP subnet mask, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) service port, and gateway IP
address.
