Cabling Cabling to the management network
Cabling to the management network
Primary port
Connect a straight-through cable from the management network to the Primary (PRI) connector on back of the
NetExpress chassis.
Auxiliary port
If the Auxiliary port is to be used for receiving data or for remote management of chassis-level functions, connect a
straight-through cable from the management network to the to the AUX connector. The Auxiliary port does not need
to be on the same network as the Primary port.
When the remote management feature is used, the network address and login credentials for remote access to the BMC
(baseboard management controller) web user interface are usually configured by a system administrator as part of the
operational configuration after NetExpress has been installed. For additional information, complete the installation and
then consult the online help for the Configuration > General Settings page of the web user interface.
Cabling to the monitored network
If NetExpress has copper monitoring ports, connect straight-through copper cables from the taps or mirror ports to the
monitoring port connectors MON2_0 through MON2_3.
If NetExpress has 10 Gbs optical monitoring ports, use single mode (LR) or multimode (SR) optical fiber cables to
connect MON2_0 and MON2_1 to taps or mirror ports on the monitored network.
If your appliance has additional monitoring ports, refer to the sticker on the top cover of the chassis for the connector
positions. Make additional cable connections as necessary.
Power cabling
If the power cables were not installed when the chassis were mounted in the racks, install them at this time. If possible,
plug the two power supplies into two different power sources.
The chassis is configured to initialize when power is connected.
