Installing the Cables
Install appropriate cables for your network configuration. P880
Cajun switch cable types include:
■
Fiber cables with SC-type connectors
■
Straight-through Category 5 cables with male RJ-45
connectors (end station/NIC (network interface card) card
connections). All I/O ports are crossed over internally so you
can use straight-through cables to attach to end stations.
■
Crossover cables with male RJ-45 connectors (switch-to-
switch connections).
The types of cable for the ethernet console (out-of-band) are
different. Refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring the Cajun Switch (Layer
2 & Layer 3),” for more information.
