Connecting the Management Port
The autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management port is located on the left side of the front panel
(labeled 10/100/1000 MGMT), to the right of the Console port. This port is used for out-of-band management
of the Cisco MDS 9396S switch.
Use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management
port to external hubs and switches. To connect to a router, use a crossover cable.
Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port
The Fibre Channel ports are compatible with LC-type fiber-optic SFP transceivers and cables (see the
and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers
in-band management. For information about configuring the switch for in-band management, see the
Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide
The Cisco MDS 9396S switch supports both Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet protocols for SFP transceivers.
Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the
stipulated cable length for reliable communications. SFP transceivers can be ordered separately or with the
Cisco MDS 9396S switch.
