By default, an NE can access the NMS or another NE through its Ethernet network management port or NE cascading port, with the port working mode being auto-negotiation.
Prerequisites
You are an NMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.
Background Information

- If you need to initialize an NE or perform software loading by using the LCT, the LCT needs to access the NE through Ethernet ports.
Procedure
