Using the management port
NOTE
The management port applies to PowerConnect B-Series FCX devices.
The management port is an out-of-band port that customers can use to manage their devices
without interfering with the in-band ports. The management port is widely used to download
images and configurations, for Telnet sessions, and for Web management.
For PowerConnect B-Series FCX devices, the MAC address for the management port is derived from
the base MAC address of the unit, plus the number of ports in the base module. For example, on a
48-port PowerConnect B-Series FCX standalone device, the base MAC address is
0000.1234.2200. The management port MAC address for this device would be 0000.1234.2200
plus 0x30, or 0000.1234.2230. The 0x30 in this case equals the 48 ports on the base module.
How the management port works
The following rules apply to management ports:
•
Only packets that are specifically addressed to the management port MAC address or the
broadcast MAC address are processed by the Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch. All other packets are
filtered out.
