Prerequisites for Ethernet Management Ports
When connecting a PC to the Ethernet management port, you must first assign an IP address.
Information about the Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port, also referred to as the Fa0 or fastethernet0 port, is a Layer 3 host port to which you can connect a PC. You can use the Ethernet management port instead of the switch console port for network management. When managing a switch stack, connect the PC to the Ethernet management port on a stack member.
