Management Port Configuration
The DES-7003 CPU module has an RJ-45 UTP Ethernet port on the front panel labeled Mgmt that can
be used for in-band configuration of the Switch. Use this port to access the management software of
the Primary Master CPU blade. Use Telnet or the Web management software just as if you were
accessing the Switch through the network. Enter the Switch IP address, user name and password in
the same way. This may be a more convenient way to connect to the CPU for some users and it can
be used if there are problems on the network that are blocking a connection.
Note: Normally the Management Port is not used for ordinary network data traffic. The exception to this may
be if the Switch is configured to receive IP settings assignments from a server via BOOTP or DHCP. In this
case, the Management Port should be connected directly to a server, preferably one that is configured to
provide only DHCP or BOOTP service. Connecting a DCHP or BOOTP enabled router or Layer 3 switch to
the Management Port will allow ordinary network traffic through the port. If this is unavoidable, consider
assigning the IP settings manually and configure the network DHCP or BOOTP server to account for the
manual assignment.

Figure 6- 6. Management Port Configuration
Select Auto for Auto-negotiation. Or select 100M/Full for port operation
at 100 Mbps and full duplex. Select 100M/Half for port operation at 100
Mbps and half duplex. Select 10M/Full for port operation at 10 Mbps and
full duplex. Select 10M/Half for port operation at 10 Mbps and half
duplex.
Selecting Enabled in full-duplex mode will implement IEEE 802.3x flow
control. Selecting Enabled when the port is in half duplex mode will
implement normal Ethernet collision-based backpressure flow control.
Select Disabled for no flow control. When port speed is configured for
Auto flow control will also be Auto and may not be changed.
