Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

NOTE: After you power on a power supply, wait for at least 60 seconds before
you turn it off. After you power off a power supply, wait for at least 60 seconds
before you turn it back on.
If the system is completely powered off when you switch on a power supply,
the SRE or RE module boots as the power supply completes its startup
sequence.
After you power on a power supply, it can take up to 60 seconds for status
indicators such as power supply LEDs and the
CLI command display to indicate that the power supply is functioning
normally. Ignore any error indicators that might appear during the first 60
seconds.

You can monitor and manage a J-EX Series switch using a dedicated management
channel. J-EX Series switches have a management port with an RJ-45 connector for
out-of-band management. Use the management port to connect the J-EX Series switch
to the management device.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. One such
cable is provided with the switch. Figure 61 on page 135 shows the RJ-45 connector of the
Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.
