The port supports auto-negotiation. If the attached device also supports auto-negation, the transmission can operate in either half or full duplex, and data rate can be in 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1Gbps. Telnet, SNMP, and Web browser utility can all go through this port for local or remote management after the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are properly configured. CAUTION To avoid an IP address conflict, make sure to complete the initial configuration (see "Connecting to the Console Port") before connecting the management port to the network. For more information on how to configure the switch, see the CLI manual. To connect to the management port: 1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the management port ( ) of the switch.
