Connect to a Fabric Interconnect F1-15's Management Module

Management Module Connections

This section documents the Management module and its port connections. Some ports on the
Management module are inactive, so you should not use them. When the Fabric Interconnect
is shipped from the factory, inactive ports are capped with a black rubber plug. Oracle
recommends that you leave these plugs in place.
See the appropriate section:
"Connect to a Fabric Interconnect F1-15's Management Module" on page 86

Connect to a Fabric Interconnect F1-15's Management Module
The procedure in this section documents using a serial connection to the Fabric Interconnect's
management port. However, a default address is set for the Management port (192.168.1.1), so
you can also use an Ethernet connection for initial configuration of the Fabric Interconnect.
To connect to the Management Module on a Fabric Interconnect F1-15:
Connect a laptop or a remote console to the Serial 1 port on the Management
1.
module. (This connection is required for the initial system configuration.) See
Figure 55, "Fabric Interconnect F1-15 Management Module for Connection to
Management Console," on page
