Switching Media for Management over the Network

The management module is connected to all other modules in the
chassis by means of an out-of-band dedicated bus. The management
module is by default connected to the Ethernet bus 1 on the backplane
in band. However, you can configure it to accept management traffic
through any Ethernet bus or token ring. To do this you route the
management traffic through a suitable MAC on a different module in
the chassis. See
"Switching MACs"
on page 5-22.
You can use any LAN for management, provided that there is a suitable
form of bridging or IP routing between it and Ethernet bus or token
ring the management module is connected to. You must ensure that
there is a path, between the management module and the Network
Manager, that supports the network management protocols. If there is
no bridging or routing between LANs, only the network connected to
the MAC can be managed by the same Network Manager.
