Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a
connection to a management workstation. A management workstation can be a
Windows, 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.
