and traffic.
When used in Router Mode, Dedicated Management Port requires two IP Addresses. See Figure C-4:
• One IP Address for M&C (management) – the 10/100 Ethernet M&C port
• One IP Address for WAN (Ethernet data) traffic – the 10/100 Ethernet Traffic port
Figure C-4. CDD-564A/L Router Mode IP Addresses
When Dedicated Management Port is first enabled, the existing single IP Address is assigned
automatically as the Management IP Address.
You must set the Traffic IP Address(es).
