Preparing for Network Connections

Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that power cables and other potential noise sources be located as far away as is practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend shielding any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.

Note The Cisco MDS 9506 Director and Cisco MDS 9509 Director use the Supervisor-1 module and require the same port connecting procedures.

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco MDS 9500 Series, consider the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:

•Cabling required for each interface type

•Distance limitations for each signal type

•Additional interface equipment required

Connecting to the Console Port

The console port, labeled “Console,” is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface (see Figure B-1). It is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

We recommend using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time.
