Cabling the Out-of-Band Management Port 27

Cabling the Out-of-Band Management Port

You can use the 10BASE-TX port on the CoreBuilder 9400 to manage your network out-of-band. Out-of-band management lets you diagnose network problems easily because you manage your network from a workstation on a different network.

To cable the out-of-band 10BASE-TX port:

1Plug the male RJ-45 connector on the 10BASE-TX cable into the 10BASE-TX port until it clicks into place. See Figure 11.

2Attach the other end of the 10BASE-TX cable to the workstation or to a different network connection.

To configure your CoreBuilder 9400 to use out-of-band network management, see the Command Reference Guide.

This port is not a switch port, that is, it carries no network traffic. It is a port for management purposes only.
