You can manage the Juniper Networks MX10004 router using the two management ports. You can also
manage it using the console port on the Routing and Control board (RCB) for out-of-band management.
The topics in this section describe how to connect an MX10004 router to external management devices.
Connect an MX10004 Router to a Network for Out-of-Band
Management
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See
"Management Port Pinouts for the MX10004
"Connect an MX10004 Router to a Management Console" on page 140
.
You can monitor and manage an MX10004 router using a dedicated management channel. Each
MX10004 RCB has two management ports: a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port for copper connections
and a 1-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port for fiber connections. Use the
management ports to connect the RCB to a network for out-of-band management.
NOTE: You must configure the management ports before you can successfully connect to the
MX10004 using the management ports. You cannot use the management ports to perform the
initial configuration of the MX10004. See
"Perform the Initial Configuration for the MX10004
