The IntraCore 8000 can be managed using any of the following methods:
Table 2-5 Management Methods
The rest of this section describes how to connect to the IntraCore 8000 using
either out-of-band or in-band management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and
monitor the IntraCore 8000 and all of the installed modules. You can
perform these functions by attaching a terminal (or a terminal emulator) to
the Console port on the management engine and using the menu-driven
Local Management Interface.
Out-of-band network management is guaranteed even when the in-band
Ethernet network is down.
To access the IntraCore 8000 Local Management Interface using out-of-band
management, first follow the procedure in “Connecting To a Console”
(above), then go on to the “Local Management Interface” section in
Chapter 3.
