Out-of-band management lets you diagnose network problems easily because you manage your network from a workstation on a different network. To cable the out-of-band 10BASE-TX port: 1 Plug the male RJ-45 connector on the 10BASE-TX cable into the 10BASE-TX port until it clicks into place. See Figure 11. 2 Attach the other end of the 10BASE-TX cable to the workstation or to a different network connection. To configure your CoreBuilder 9400 to use out-of-band network management, see the Command Reference Guide. This port is not a switch port, that is, it carries no network traffic. It is a port for management purposes only.
