#### Management Cable Requirements

Management of the switch is done at the management console, which is a 10/100 Ethernet connection at the NET MGT connectors. See Front Panel Components.

- NET MGT 0 (Port A)

- NET MGT 1 (Port B)

Typically, the NET MGT connection is the default means of communicating with the management controller. The controller has a DHCP client in operation and requires the Ethernet network to have a DHCP server. The DHCP server must be configured with the MAC address of the management controller, so that the server can provide an IP address to the management controller upon boot.

Note - Do not use NET MGT 1 (Port B). Port B is functional but currently has some limitations and is not supported at this time.

The serial device used to connect to the SER MGT connector can be a serial terminal, a terminal server, or a serial connection running on a system or laptop. Because of the nature of the serial signal, a SER MGT cable cannot be reliably used if it is more than 10 meters long.
