Setup Options
The setup scenario differs based on the subnet to which you are adding the new switch. You must
configure a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch with an IP address to enable management connections from
outside of the switch. Figure 3-1 shows a switch that is managed out-of-band over a connection to the
network through an Ethernet port.
