Connecting the Management Interface
To create a management connection to the switch, you must connect one of the two management ports 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 and establish an IP address for
the switch.
Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to one of the two management ports on the switch.
Connect to only one management port. The switch does not support your use of two management ports. Note
• To connect one of the two management ports to an Ethernet switch port or hub, insert the RJ-45 connector (used for
shorter connections) or SFP transceiver (used for longer connections) for a modular, straight-through UTP cable
into the appropriate management port.
• To connect to a router, insert the RJ-45 connector or SFP transceiver on a crossover cable into the appropriate
management port.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the switch, hub, or router.
Connecting Interface Ports to Other Devices
After you perform the initial configuration for the switch and create a management connection, you are ready
to connect the interface ports on the switch to other devices. Depending on the types of interface ports on the
switch, you will need to use interface cables with QSFP28, QSFP+, SFP+, or SFP transceivers or RJ-45
connectors to connect the switch to other devices.
If you need to use SFP+ or SFP transceivers in a QSFP28 uplink port, install a QSFP-to-SFP adapter, such
as the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter, in the QSFP28 port and then install the SFP+ or SFP transceiver. The
switch automatically sets the port speed for the SFP+ or SFP transceiver. Note
The transceivers used with many fiber-optic cables come separated from their cables. To prevent damage to
the fiber-optic cables and their transceivers, we recommend that you keep these transceivers disconnected
from their fiber-optic cables when installing the transceiver in the interface port. Before removing a transceiver
for a fiber-optic cable, you must remove the cable from the transceiver.
To maximize the effectiveness and life of your transceivers and optical cables, do the following:
• Wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that is connected to an earth ground whenever handling transceivers.
The switch is typically grounded during installation and provides an ESD port to which you can connect
your wrist strap.
