Information about the Ethernet Management Port

The Ethernet management port, also referred to as the Fa0 or fastethernet0 port, is a Layer 3 host port to
which you can connect a PC. You can use the Ethernet management port instead of the switch console port
for network management. When managing a switch stack, connect the PC to the Ethernet management port
on a stack member.
