Setting Up the Management Interface
The management port (MGMT ETH) provides out-of-band management, which enables you to use the
command-line interface (CLI) to manage the switch by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet
connection with an RJ-45 interface.
Before you begin
The switch must be powered on.
Step 1
Connect the RJ-45, UTP cable to the MGMT ETH port on the switch.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on a network device.
What to do next
You are ready to connect the interface ports on each of the line cards to the network.
Connecting to Host Servers
The switch has 36 ports that connect to host servers. You can configure each of these ports for 100-, 40-, 25-,
10-, or 1-Gigabit speeds as follows:
• For 100 Gigabits per second, use QSFP28 transceivers on both ends of each optical cable.
• For 40 Gigabits per second, use QSFP+ transceivers on both ends of each optical cable.
• For 25 Gigabits per second, you can do either of the following:
