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 the management device.
To connect a device to a network for out-of-band management (see Figure 27 on page 84):
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port on the device.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.

Connect a Device to a Management Console Using an RJ‑45 Connector
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end and an RJ-45-to-DB-9
serial port adapter.
Figure 28 on page 84 shows the RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable.
