Chapter 2 Configuring CSS Basics Configuring the Ethernet Management Port Configuring the Ethernet Management Port The Ethernet management port provides a connection to the CSS that allows you to perform CSS management functions. The Ethernet management port supports management functions such as secure remote login through SSH, remote login through Telnet, file transfer through active FTP, SNMP queries, HTTPS access to the Device Management user interface, SNTP, DNS, ICMP redirects, RADIUS, syslog, CDP, TACACs, and CSS configuration changes through XML. Note When using static routes for managing the CSS from subnets beyond the management LAN, the Ethernet management port supports the management applications listed above, except CDP, DNS, SNTP, and TACACs. For more information on static routes, see the "Configuring Static Routes for the Ethernet Management Port" section. The Ethernet management port also supports ping and traceroutes initiated from the CSS. The Ethernet management port is located on the CSS 11501, CSS 11503, or CSS 11506 SCM front panels. To access the Ethernet management port on the CSS, you must assign an IP address and a subnet mask to the port. If you want to manage the CSS from a subnet that is different from the Ethernet management port, you can configure static routes for the Ethernet management port. If you want to use the Offline Diagnostic Monitor (Offline DM) menu to boot the CSS from an image that resides on a different subnet, you can configure a default gateway for the Ethernet management port. Note the following considerations when configuring or using the Ethernet management port: • Dynamic routing protocols (such as RIP and OSPF) are not supported on the Ethernet management port. • Packet routing or forwarding is not supported between the Ethernet management port and the Ethernet interface ports. • Access control lists (ACLs) are not supported on the Ethernet management port.

Configuring the Ethernet Management Port
Configuring the Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port provides a connection to the CSS that allows you
to perform CSS management functions. The Ethernet management port supports
management functions such as secure remote login through SSH, remote login
through Telnet, file transfer through active FTP, SNMP queries, HTTPS access to
the Device Management user interface, SNTP, DNS, ICMP redirects, RADIUS,
syslog, CDP, TACACs, and CSS configuration changes through XML.
Note
When using static routes for managing the CSS from subnets beyond the
management LAN, the Ethernet management port supports the management
applications listed above, except CDP, DNS, SNTP, and TACACs. For more
information on static routes, see the
“Configuring Static Routes for the Ethernet
Management Port”
section.
The Ethernet management port also supports ping and traceroutes initiated from
the CSS.
The Ethernet management port is located on the CSS 11501, CSS 11503, or
CSS 11506 SCM front panels.
To access the Ethernet management port on the CSS, you must assign an IP
address and a subnet mask to the port. If you want to manage the CSS from a
subnet that is different from the Ethernet management port, you can configure
static routes for the Ethernet management port.
If you want to use the Offline Diagnostic Monitor (Offline DM) menu to boot the
CSS from an image that resides on a different subnet, you can configure a default
gateway for the Ethernet management port.
Note the following considerations when configuring or using the Ethernet
management port:
Dynamic routing protocols (such as RIP and OSPF) are not supported on the
Ethernet management port.
Packet routing or forwarding is not supported between the Ethernet
management port and the Ethernet interface ports.
Access control lists (ACLs) are not supported on the Ethernet management
port.
