Chapter B Connecting the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port Send documentation comments to [email protected]. To connect the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port: • Use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port to an Ethernet switch port or hub. • Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface. Connect the other end of the cable to the device. Note For high availability, connect the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the active Supervisor-2 module and on the standby Supervisor-2 module to the same network or VLAN. The active supervisor module owns the IP address used by both of these Ethernet connections. On a switchover, the newly activated supervisor module takes over this IP address. This process requires an Ethernet connection to the newly activated supervisor module. Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the network until the initial configuration is complete. For more information, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide. The Supervisor-1 module supports an autosensing MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port (labeled "MGMT 10/100") and has an RJ-45 interface. (See Figure B-4.) You can use this port to access and manage the switch by IP address, such as through Cisco Fabric Manager. OL-17467-02 Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide B-7
