Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector that
provides a connection to a management workstation. A management workstation
can be a PC, a Solaris™ workstation, or a Linux® workstation that is used to
configure and manage the switch fabric. You can manage the switch over an
Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI),
or SNMP. The switch through which the fabric is managed is called the fabric
management switch.
