Connecting a network management station to the switch

Connect a network management station to the management port for out-of-band management of the switch.

The management port on the CPU modules is a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port implemented on an RJ-45 connector wired as an MDI connection. You can use this port to connect the switch to a network management station for out-of-band management of the switch using a Web browser or Device Manager.

The port has its own IP address but does not switch traffic to other ports in the chassis.

Prerequisites

•To connect ports that will operate at 100 Mb/s, use only Category 5 UTP cable. For 10 Mb/s connections, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Insert the UTP cable into the RJ-45 receptacle connector on the CPU module.
