Access the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The method for configuring the C-Series and

E-Series for Telnet access is different from S-Series.

• The C-Series and E-Series have a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is

separate from the IP routing table.

• The S-Series does not have a dedicated management port, but is managed from any port. It does not

have a separate management routing table.

Access the C-Series and E-Series Remotely

Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process:

1. Configure an IP address for the management port. Refer to Configure the Management Port IP

Address.

2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. Refer to Configure a Management Route.

3. Configure a username and password. Refer to Configure a Username and Password.

Configure the Management Port IP Address

Assign IP addresses to the management ports in order to access the system remotely.

To configure the management port IP address:

Note: Use this process for the S60 system.

Note: Assign different IP addresses to each RPM’s management port.
