Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
You can monitor and manage an EX Series switch using a dedicated management channel.
EX Series switches have a management port with an RJ-45 connector for out-of-band
management. Use the management port to connect the EX Series switch to the
management device.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. One such
cable is provided with the switch. Figure 76 on page 187 shows the RJ-45 connector of
the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.
