Establishing a Connection to the Out-of-Band Management Port
The Gigabit Ethernet management port
(RJ-45) on the RUCKUS ICX 7550 non-port side panel provides an out-of-band network
connection to
the device.
After you assign an IP address, you can access the RUCKUS ICX 7550 from anywhere in the attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management tools. To prevent unauthorized access, RUCKUS recommends that the management port only be connected to a secure private network.
To manage the RUCKUS ICX 7550 through its management port, connect the port to the management Ethernet network using Category 5 or better cable.
Management of the RUCKUS ICX 7550 is described in detail in the RUCKUS FastIron Management Configuration Guide.
