Management port overview
NOTE
The management port applies to FCX, SX 800, SX 1600, ICX 6430, and ICX 6450 devices.
The management port is an out-of-band port that customers can use to manage their devices
without interfering with the in-band ports. The management port is widely used to download
images and configurations, for Telnet sessions, and for Web management.
For FCX devices, the MAC address for the management port is derived from the base MAC address
of the unit, plus the number of ports in the base module. For example, on a 48-port FCX standalone
device, the base MAC address is 0000.1234.2200. The management port MAC address for this
device would be 0000.1234.2200 plus 0x30, or 0000.1234.2230. The 0x30 in this case equals
the 48 ports on the base module.
