MX84 Management port configuration

[BBDave]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any docs on setting up the management port on a MX84 appliance as the only one I can find looks nothing like what I'm seeing on the web interface.

Thanks

Dave

Is the management port just a console port like you have on a switch? for connecting directly I wonder.

There is no dedicated management port on Meraki MX. Welcome to the wonderful world of Cloud managed IT! 🙂

Well, umm... 😕

I was referring to management port like "good old days, completely out of band".

On some models of MX, yes. The 60 line doesn't have management ports, but the larger rack-mountable units should. It's for accessing the local status page.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the replies.  I think I answer my own question.

Thanks
