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-45 connector. Use the management port to connect the device to themanagement
device.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end.
Figure 46 on page 157 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the
device.
Figure 46: RJ-45 Connector on an Ethernet Cable
To connect a device to a network for out-of-band management (see
Figure 47 on page 158):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port (labeled MGMT or
ETHERNET) on the device.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.
