Chapter 3: Overview of the AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Card
NET MGMT Port
74
You have to provide the controller card with access to your network if it is
to perform any of the management features in Table 22. There are two
ways you can do this. One way is by connecting the NET MGMT port on
the front panel of the controller card to a switch or router on your network.
Another way is by configuring the in-band interface. The inband interface
allows the card to communicate with your network over the backplane and
line cards in the chassis.
You may use either the NET MGMT port or in-band interface to provide
the controller card with access to your network, but you may not configure
both. The default is the NET MGMT port. For instructions on how to
configure the NET MGMT port and inband interface, refer to the Software
Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
