Cabling the Out-of-Band Management Port
You can use the 10BASE-TX port on the Switch 9300
to manage your network out-of-band. 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.
2
Attach the other end of the 10/100BASE-TX cable to
the workstation.
To configure your system to use out-of-band network
management, see your
Command Reference and the
Implementation Guide
.
