In-Band Management
In-band management of a remote MX-2100 is performed via the local MX-2100
and the data frame. A connection to the local MX-2100 can be made through:
•
An Ethernet LAN
•
A SLIP connection.
In both cases, management can be performed via TELNET. Some of the bandwidth
of the main link between the two MX-2100s is used to relay the management
information.
In a “V” configuration, any one of the three MX-2100s can be considered the local
MX-2100. The other two MX-2100s can be managed through the local MX-2100.

used to download software.
Out-of-Band Management
There are several options for managing a remote MX-2100 out-of-band:
•
Using a network management station or TELNET over a LAN connected to the
remote MX-2100. The remote MX-2100 requires an IP address. For
information on assigning an IP address, refer to the
