Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port Send document comments to [email protected] Note To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal emulation software (frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus) makes communication between the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect and a computer possible during setup and configuration. To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see Figure 3-1) and the DB-9 connector to the computer serial port. Note For configuration instructions, see the Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide. Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide. The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface. To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port: • Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an Ethernet switch port or hub. • Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.

Chapter 3

Connecting the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Note

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal

emulation. The terminal emulation software (frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or

Procomm Plus) makes communication between the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect and a

computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step 1

Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step 2

Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see

Figure 3-1

) and the DB-9

connector to the computer serial port.

Note

For configuration instructions, see the

Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Caution

To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial

configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the

Cisco UCS Manager GUI

Configuration Guide

The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface.

To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step 1

Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port:

•

Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an

Ethernet switch port or hub.

•

Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.

Step 2

Connect the other end of the cable to the device.

Connecting to an Ethernet Port

Use an SFP+ transceiver to connect to an Ethernet port.
