Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is a RJ-45 connector located on the CPU module as shown in
Figure 2-7. This port requires a 10/100BASE-T cable and provides a connection
for a management workstation, such as a PC, a Solaris™ workstation, or a Linux®
workstation, through which to manage the switch. You can manage the switch
over an Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line
Interface (CLI), or SNMP. The switch through which a fabric is managed is called
the fabric management switch.
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: a Link Status LED and an Activity LED. The Link
Status LED illuminates green to indicate that an Ethernet connection has been
established with a management workstation. The Activity LED illuminates amber
to indicate that data is being transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.
