Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port shown in Figure 1-7is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. A management workstation can be a Windows® or a Linux® workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. The switch through which the fabric is managed is called the fabric management switch. You can manage the switch module over an Ethernet connection with the following management tools:

•McDATA Embedded Web Server

•McDATA Element Manager through EFCM

•Command Line Interface (CLI)

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED (green). The Link Status LED illuminates continuously when an Ethernet connection has been established. The Activity LED illuminates when data is being transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.
