Figure3-3 Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port on the Cisco MDS
9216 Switch
To connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to an external hub, switch, or router,
follow these steps:
Step1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port:
•Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the 10/100
management port to an Ethernet switch port or hub.
•Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.
Step2 Connect the other end of the cable to the device.
Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port
The Fibre Channel ports on the switch modules are compatible with LC-type
fiber-optic SFP transceivers and cables (see Figure3-4 on page 3-9). You can use
the Fibre Channel ports to connect to the SAN or for in-band management. For
information about configuring the switch for inband management, refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.
