Connecting a Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage these devices by using a dedicated management channel.
Each device has a management port to which you can connect an Ethernet cable with
an RJ-45connector. Usethe management port toconnectthe device to the management
device.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end.
Figure 61 on page 167 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the
device.
