For information about connecting a PC to the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, refer to “Attaching a management station” on page 118.
The out-of-band management port provides access to a separate system management network, and allows you to do the following tasks:
• Access the router through Telnet, the Web management interface, or the Brocade Network Advisor software.
• Access a TFTP server to perform system upgrade tasks.
• Provides SNMP polling access, as well as sending SNMP traps.
• Send Syslog packets.
• Access the system through RADIUS AAA.
Management module LEDs
The LEDs on all management module models are the same. <Link>Table 2 describes the LEDs on the management module.
