Connecting the Management Port

The autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management ports are located on the left side of the front panel

(labeled MGMT ETH0 and MGMT ETH1), below the console port. MGMT ETH0 is the default Ethernet

management port (interface mgmt0). This port is used for out-of-band management of the Cisco MDS 9132T

switch. It can also be used for upstream data transferring.

MGMT ETH1 is disabled and reserved for further use.

Note

Use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable (Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switch or Cisco Catalyst 6000 Switch)

to connect the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management ports to external hubs and switches.

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

The Fibre Channel ports are compatible with FC LC-type fiber-optic SFP transceivers and cables (see the

Removing and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers section). You can use these ports to connect to the

SAN or for in-band management. For information about configuring the switch for in-band management, see

the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide or the Cisco NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration

Guide.

Each transceiver must match the transceiver at the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the

stipulated cable length for reliable communications. SFP transceivers can be ordered either separately or with

the Cisco MDS 9132T switch.

Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams

or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Warning

Wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the chassis when handling transceivers. Keep optical connectors covered

when not in use, and do not touch connector ends. The fiber-optic connectors must be free of dust, oil, and

other contaminants.

Note

Removing and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers

To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do

not bend to a radius of less than one inch (2.5 cm) if there is no tension in the cable, or two inches (5 cm) if

there is tension in the cable.
