The 7705 SAR platforms each have two ports on the chassis to connect terminals for management access: a console port for a terminal connection and a management port for a Telnet connection.
The console port is used to configure parameters locally through a direct connection from a system console. The management port is used to configure parameters remotely through a connection to a remote workstation, using Telnet or SSH to open a secure shell connection.
For more information about management connections, see the appropriate chassis installation guide, in the section on router management connections.
