Complete Hardware Guide for EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches

Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

You can monitor and manage an EX Series switch using a dedicated management channel. EX Series switches have a management port with an RJ-45 connector for out-of-band management. Use the management port to connect the EX Series switch to the management device.

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. One such cable is provided with the switch. Figure 59 on page 152 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.
