What to Do Next
You can now perform the initial configuration for the switch (see the Cisco ACI Getting Started Guide ).
Setting Up an Optional Management Connection
You can optionally set up an out-of-band management connection for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
To do this, you connect either the RJ-45 management port or the SFP management port on the switch to an
external hub, switch, or router.
Before You Begin
To prevent an IP address conflict, you must complete the initial configuration for the switch and establish an
IP address before you create the management connection.
Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular interface cable to only one of the two management ports on the switch.Connect the
management interface cable to a management port on the leaf switch. If the switch has two management ports, use the
optical port if you have an optical interface cable or use the RJ-45 port if you have a copper interface cable.
• For the RJ-45 management port, use a copper interface cable with RJ-45 connectors (can be used for shorter
connections).
• For the SFP management port, use an optical interface cable with LH or SX SFP transceivers (can be used for
longer connections).
If you use the management interface, connect only one of the two management ports. The switch does not
support your use of two management ports at the same time. Note
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an external hub, switch, or router.
Maintaining Transceivers and Optical Cables
Transceivers and fiber-optic cables must be kept clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and
prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should be
below 0.35 dB.
Consider the following maintenance guidelines:
• Transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that is
connected to the grounded chassis.
• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and insertions
can shorten its useful life.
• Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. Clean them before using to prevent dust from
scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.
• Do not touch the ends of connectors. Touching the ends can leave fingerprints and cause other
contamination.
