Figure J-3. Example data center

Assume that you are configuring the switch in the left-hand rack to commu­ nicate on both the data and management networks. You might do the following:

■Configure an IP address on the data network.

■Verify that out-of-band management is enabled. (It is enabled by default.)

■Configure an IP address on the management network.

■Verify that the switch can communicate on both networks.
