Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port
Caution
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the network until
the initial configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide or the Cisco Fabric Manager Interfaces Configuration Guide.
The MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port is autosensing and has an RJ-45 interface. (See
Figure 3-3
.) You can
use this port to access and manage the switch by its IP address, such as through the Cisco Fabric
Manager.

Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series
To connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect the appropriate modular cable to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port:
•
Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the 10/100 management 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.
