You can manage the switch using the CLI, QuickTools, or Enterprise Fabric Suite 
2007. QuickTools and Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 require an Ethernet 
connection to the switch. The CLI can use an Ethernet connection or a serial 
connection. Choose a switch management method, then connect the 
management workstation to the switch in one of the following ways:
„

Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires 
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in 

„

Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable 
as shown in 

.

„

Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as 
shown in
