In-Band
A remote MX-2100 can be managed via the local MX-2100 and the data frame.
Some of the bandwidth of the main link between the two MX-2100s is used to
relay the management information.
An operator can also
download software using
the main link.

Flow of Management Information
Figure 1-22. Remote Management: In-Band
Note
Management information can be passed from a local MX-2100 to a remote
MX-2100 via the data frame. On the local MX-2100, connect a supervision
terminal, TELNET, or SNMP to the KLS.1, KLS.2 card. On the remote
MX-2100, use a cross-cable to link the KLS.1, KLS.2 card with the SP port on
the KCL.2. For a description of this method, refer to Figure 1-23.
