Connections and Cabling

Once your switch is properly installed, you should connect all
network and management cables required for your network
applications. Connections may include:
• RJ-45 straight-through cable to the console port
• Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Management Port
(EMP) on the CMM
• Cables to NIs or transceivers

Serial Connection to the Console Port

The console port, located on the CMM module, provides a
serial connection to the switch and is required when logging
into the switch for the first time. By default, this RJ-45
connector provides a DCE console connection.
