Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Management Console

You can configure and manage an EX Series switch using a dedicated console. Every EX Series switch has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to connect the EX Series switch to the management console or to a console server. The console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector.

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. An RJ-45 cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch.

Figure 61 on page 153 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.
