Connection port for managing XS708e

Hi All,

 

We have two XS708e installed in our collocation provider rack. They are used as SAN switches. When installing XS708e our engineer made mistake and did not connect the switches to our management network. 

 

Now we want to connnect the switches to management network and configure them with ProSafe utility. 

 

The question:

 

Is it necessary to connect the management network to port #1 of the switches as shown in installation guide? Or we can use any port for this?

    You can use any port to connect the management network. If you do factory default on front panel, the default ip address is 192.168.0.239.
