RJ-45 Connectors
The RJ-45 connector connects Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 6A foil twisted-pair
or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the following module interface connectors:
• Switch chassis
In a dual Supervisor Module switch, you can ensure that the active Supervisor Module is always connected
to the network by connecting the management interface on both Supervisor Module to the network. That is,
you can perform this task for each Supervisor Module. When the Supervisor Module is active, the switch
automatically has a management interface that is running and accessible from the network.
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 100/1000 Ethernet port until the initial
configuration is complete.
