1000BaseX Ports Cabling Procedures
Cabling requirements for the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet modules depend on the
type of GBIC interface that has been installed. Use the following chart to
determine the cabling requirements for your GBIC.
Table 2-4 1000BaseX cabling requirements
Configuring for Management
To use the IntraCore 6524 as a managed switch, the IntraCore 6524 must be
configured with an IP address. You can accomplish this configuration in one of
two ways:
❑
automatically using BootP (default)
❑
manually via the unit’s Console port
▲
Important! For security reasons, you should also change
the SNMP community strings before putting the IntraCore
6524 on your network. For instructions, see “Changing
Community Strings” on page 3-17.
BootP Configuration
The IntraCore 6524 is shipped with BootP support. If your network contains a
BootP server configured with available, valid IP addresses, BootP allows the
IntraCore 6524 to be configured automatically with an IP address when the
IntraCore 6524 is connected to the network and is powered on.
▲
Important! BootP configuration works only if the
IntraCore 6524 does not have an IP address assigned to it.
