Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port is a RJ-45 connector located on the CPU module as shown in Figure 2-7. This port requires a 10/100BASE-T cable and provides a connection for a management workstation, such as a PC, a Solaris™ workstation, or a Linux® workstation, through which to manage the switch. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP. The switch through which a fabric is managed is called the fabric management switch.

The Ethernet port has two LEDs: a Link Status LED and an Activity LED. The Link Status LED illuminates green to indicate that an Ethernet connection has been established with a management workstation. The Activity LED illuminates amber to indicate that data is being transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.
