Ethernet port
The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a workstation through a 10/100
Base-T Ethernet cable (Figure 5). A workstation can be a Windows
or a Linux server that is used to
configure and manage the switch fabric. An Ethernet connection to the switch is required to manage the
switch using the CLI, QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, Simple SAN Connection Manager,
or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED (green). The Link Status LED
illuminates continuously when an Ethernet connection has been established. The Activity LED illuminates
when data is being transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.

The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch is equipped with an RS-232 serial port for maintenance purposes
(Figure 6). You can manage the switch through the serial port using the CLI.
