E_Ports enable you to expand the fabric by connecting SANbox2-8c switches with
other FC-SW-2 compliant switches. SANbox2-8c switches self-discover all
inter-switch connections. Refer to
information about multiple chassis fabrics.

Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port shown in
connection to a management workstation. A management workstation can be a
Windows, Solaris™, or a Linux® workstation that is used to configure and
manage the switch fabric. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet
connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP.
The switch through which the fabric is managed is called the fabric management
switch.
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED
(amber). The Link Status LED illuminates continuously when an Ethernet
connection has been established. The Activity LED illuminates when data is being
transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.
