Connecting a QFX5100 Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage the QFX5100 device using a dedicated management
channel. QFX5100 devices have a minimum of two management ports:
a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and a 1-Gbps small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports.
Some product SKUs have an additional 1-Gbps SFP port that can be used either for fiber
or copper connections. Use the management ports to connect the QFX5100 device to a
network for out-of-band management.
CAUTION: Configuring the two management interfaces within the same
subnet is not supported.
NOTE: You cannot use the management ports to perform the initial
configuration of the QFX5100 device. You must configure the management
ports beforeyoucansuccessfullyconnect to theQFX5100switch usingthese
ports. See “Configuring a QFX5100 Device” on page 189.
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See “Cable Specifications for Console
and Management Connections for the QFX Series” on page 149 and “Interface
Specifications for SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ Transceivers for the QFX Series” on page 94
To connect a QFX5100 switch to a network for out-of-band management (see
Figure 62 on page 181):
1. Connect one end of the cable to one of the management ports (labeled C0 and
C1) on the QFX5100 switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the management switch (see
Figure 62 on page 181).
