To connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step 1 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.

Step 2 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 Figure 3-4 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.
