Step 5 - Connect the Host PC and AXIe Chassis to a Network
Besides connecting the host PC to the AXIe chassis via the
PCIe interface, you also connect the host PC and chassis to
a common network. The connectivity of chassis to a network
is required to allow ESM to communicate on a network
common to the host PC and to perform the firmware
upgrade process on the chassis. Refer to the topic
“Upgrading Chassis Firmware" on page 44 to know how to
upgrade the chassis firmware.
Network requirements
The network to which you want to connect the AXIe chassis
should meet the following requirements:
• The DHCP services should be available to provide an IP
address to the chassis from a pool of IP addresses.
• Preferably, the network should not be connected to public
Internet access to avoid exposing the chassis operating
system to Internet attacks.
• In a private (isolated) network, a router should be used
to host the required DHCP services and provide IP
addresses.
Chassis LAN Connector
The AXIe chassis has a network adapter (NIC) to connect it
to a network. You can connect the AXIe chassis to a network
using the RJ45 LAN connector located on the front panel of
the ESM of chassis.

This step of connecting the chassis and host PC to a
network is highly recommended or mandatory depending on
the usage scenario of the AXIe chassis. The following topic
describes how to connect the host PC and chassis to a
network in different usage scenarios.
