Starting a Console Session Using Dialup
Each NetScreen-5000 Series system provides a modem port that allows you to
establish a remote console session using a dialup connection through a 9600 bps
modem. Dialing into the modem establishes a dialup console connection.
Establishing a GUI Management Session
To access a NetScreen-5000 Series system with the WebUI management
application:
1.
Connect your computer (or your LAN hub) to the MGT interface using a
Category-5 Ethernet cable. (The MGT interface is on the management module,
which alway resides in slot 1.)
2.
Launch your browser, enter the IP address of the MGT interface in the URL field,
and then press
Enter
.
For example, if you assigned the MGT interface an IP address of
10.100.2.183
/16, then enter:
http://10.100.2.183
The ScreenOS WebUI software displays the login prompt.
