Connecting the Cisco MDS 9100 Series

The Cisco MDS 9100 Series provides the following types of ports:

•Console port (Interface Module)—An RS-232 port that you can use to create a local management connection.

•MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port (Interface Module)—An Ethernet port that you can use to access and manage the switch by IP address, such as through the CLI or Fabric Manager.

•Fibre Channel ports (Supervisor and Switching Modules)— Fibre Channel ports that you can use to connect to the SAN, or for in-band management.

This chapter describes how to connect the various components of the Cisco MDS 9100 Series Fixed Configuration Fabric Switch, and it includes the following information:

•Preparing for Network Connections, page 3-1

•Connecting the Console Port, page 3-1

•Connecting the 10/100 Ethernet Management Port, page 3-3

•Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port, page 3-4

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch, consider the following for each type of interface:

•Cabling required for each interface type

•Distance limitations for each signal type

•Additional interface equipment needed

Before installing the component, have all additional external equipment and cables available.

Connecting the Console Port

This section describes how to connect the RS-232 console port to a PC. The console port allows you to perform the following functions:

•Configure the switch from the CLI.

•Monitor network statistics and errors.

•Configure SNMP agent parameters.
