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. Use themanagement port toconnectthe device to the management
device.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end.
Figure 38 on page 93 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the
device.
Figure 38: RJ-45 Connector on an Ethernet Cable
To connect a device to a network for out-of-band management (see
Figure 39 on page 94):
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.
