Chapter 1: Overview

NET MGMT

Port

The NET MGMT port is used by the control card to perform the features in

Table 14. The control card uses the port to access your network to

communicate with network devices, such as TFTP servers and Telnet and

SSH client workstations.

An alternative to using the NET MGMT port is to configure the inband

interface on the control card. The inband interface allows the card to

communicate with your network over the backplane and line cards in the

chassis.

You may use either the NET MGMT port or inband interface to give the

control card access to your network, but you may not use both. For

instructions on how to configure the NET MGMT port and inband interface,

refer to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
