Connecting to the Management Port
The management port is a dedicated port interface which is segregated from data traffic crossing
other downlink or uplink ports. The port supports auto-negotiation. If the attached device also
supports auto-negation, the transmission can operate in either half or full duplex, and data rate
can be in 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1Gbps. Telnet, SNMP, and Web browser utility can all go through
this port for local or remote management after the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
are properly configured.
• To avoid an IP address conflict, make sure to complete the initial configuration
(see “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 42) before connecting the
management port to the network. For more information on how to configure the
switch, refer to the CLI User Manual.
CAUTION
To connect to the management port, do the following:
1
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the management port (
) of the switch.
