How to set up the management interface.

The RJ-45 and/or SFP management ports provide out-of-band management, which enables you to use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage the switch by its IP address. Use one of these ports depending on the cable and connectors that you are using to connect the management interface to the network.

Before you begin

  • The switch must be powered on.

  • The switch must be initially configured using a console.

Procedure

1.

Connect the management cable into the management port on the switch. For shorter connections, use a cable with RJ-45 connectors. For longer connections, use an optical cable with SFP transceivers (LH or SX type).

Note

Use only one of these management ports. the switch does not support the use of both management ports.
2.

Connect the other end of the cable to a 10/100/1000 or SFP port on a network device.
