Procedure
Using
SFP DAC cables, cable two
MGMT ports from separate frames to the management network.
NOTE: The 4-Port FLM
MGMT port supports
1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver with CAT5 cables,
10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables,
SFP DAC cables,
SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and
SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options, see the product QuickSpecs
www.hpe.com/info/qs.
NOTE:
The 4-Port FLM
MGMT port supports 1GbE and 10GbE cables and transceivers. The
MGMT port speed is set based on the cables or transceivers used.
Using
SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, cable the
LINK ports together.
NOTE: The 4-Port FLM
LINK port supports
10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables,
SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and
SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options, see the product QuickSpecs
