Note
The Ethernet controller can perform automatic crossover, thus eliminating the
need for crossover cables.

information about the current chassis operating parameters. You can access this page in most
browsers. Enter the IP address or hostname currently assigned to the chassis into the browser’s
address bar. Figure 2-7 shows an example of the web page.
