Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a
connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
cable. A management workstation can be a Windows®, Solaris™, 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.
