Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch
Connect the management workstation to the switch in one of three ways:
■ Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method,
you can manage the switch with the SANbox Manager application or the
CLI.
■ Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable
as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with
the SANbox Manager application or the CLI.
■ Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as
shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with the
CLI.
