99328

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 a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet 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.

Note For high availability, connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port on the active Supervisor-1 module and on the standby Supervisor-1 module to the same network or VLAN. The active supervisor module owns the IP address used by both of these Ethernet connections. On a switchover, the newly activated supervisor module takes over this IP address. This process requires an Ethernet connection to the newly activated supervisor module.
