Connecting the Cisco MDS 9216

Switch

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch provides the following types of ports:

• CONSOLE port (Interface Module): An RS-232 port that you can use to

create a local management connection.

• COM1 port (Interface Module): An RS-232 port that you can use to connect

to an external serial communication device such as a modem.

• MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port (Interface Module): An Ethernet port that you

can use to access and manage the switch by IP address, such as through the

CLI or Fabric Manager.

• Fibre Channel ports (Supervisor and Switching Modules): Fibre Channel

ports that you can use to connect to the SAN, or for in-band management.

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or sub-floor cable trays, we

strongly recommend that power cables and other potential noise sources be

located as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco

equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at

least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend shielding any potential noise sources by housing

them in a grounded metallic conduit.
