Chapter3 Connecting the Switch

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

You can use the console port to perform the following:

•Configure the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switch from the

CLI.

•Monitor network statistics and errors.

•Configure SNMP agent parameters.

•Download software updates.

Note To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal

emulation. The terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus) makes

communication between the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switch

and a computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step1 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see Figure3-1) and the DB-9

connector to the computer serial port.

Note For configuration instructions, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI configuration

guide.

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Note This section applies to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform

switches.

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial

configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI

configuration guide.

This section describes how to connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router.

The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface. To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external

hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port:

•Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an

Ethernet switch port or hub.

•Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.
