This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the switch.

To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage an HPE 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX workstation.

To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/Bootp server.

A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate management network.

For more information, see the "Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)" appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch at: www.hpe.com/networking/support.
