Connecting the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port
Connecting the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port
The autosensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port is located on the left side of the front panel
(labeled 10/100 MGMT), to the right of the Console port. This port is used for out-of-band management
of the Cisco MDS 9148S switch.
Use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the 10/100/1000 management Ethernet
port to external hubs and switches. To connect to a router, use a crossover cable.
Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port
The Fibre Channel ports are compatible with LC-type fiber-optic SFP transceivers and cables (see
"Removing and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers" section on page
to connect to the SAN or for in-band management. For information about configuring the switch for
in-band management, see the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide and the Cisco
NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
The Cisco MDS 9148S switch supports both Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet protocols for SFP
transceivers. Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable, and the cable
must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. SFP transceivers can be ordered
separately or with the Cisco MDS 9148S switch.

Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Caution
Wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the chassis when handling transceivers. Keep optical connectors
covered when not in use, and do not touch connector ends. The fiber-optic connectors must be free of
dust, oil, and other contaminants.

Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers
Caution
Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary.
We recommend disconnecting cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage
to the cable or transceiver.
