Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port shown in Figure 1-6 is an RJ45 connector that
provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet cable. The port is labeled MGMT.

You can use a Windows

or Linux

workstation to configure and manage the
router over an Ethernet connection using the Router Manager, CLI, or SNMP (see
Appendix A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)).
The management Ethernet port has two LEDs:
 The green (left) link status LED lights up to indicate that the link is up.
 The yellow (right) activity LED lights up when the router sends or receives
data over the connection.
Serial Port
The iSR6152 router is equipped with an RS232 serial port for maintenance
purposes. Figure 1-7 shows the serial port location. It is labeled IOIOI. You can
manage the router through the serial port using the CLI.
Figure 1-7. Serial Port
The serial port connection requires a standard, eight-wire Ethernet cable and the
RJ45-to-DB9F adapter (supplied) to convert the Ethernet RJ45 connector to a
female DB9 connector.
