5.3.7. Connecting Cables for BSDU Network IP
Management
For network (IP) configurations, you can connect the PC to the BSDU’s local port,
or remotely (from anywhere) if you have IP connectivity to the device. For PC-to-
BSDU local network (IP) connections you need to connect the PC to the BSDU’s
10BaseT or 100BaseT port. The BSDU’s front panel provides two 10Base-T ports:
left is labeled 10Base-T 1; right is labeled 10Base-T 2. Port 1 provides PC
management interface to all BSRs connected to the BSDU. Port 2 provides
management interface only to the BSDU. If you connect the BSDU’s two 10BaseT
ports (i.e., loop the ports) to one another by a crossover cable, then you can connect
the PC to one of the BSDU’s 100BaseT ports. If the two BSDU 10BaseT ports are
not connected to one another, then you need to connect the PC to the BSDU’s right-
most 10BaseT port (labeled 10Base-T 2).
Note: For WipLL management, it is recommended to connect Port 1 to Port 2
by a cross-over cable, and then connect the management station (PC) to one
of the 100Base-T ports. In such a setup, you can provide management to all
daisy-chained BSDUs and their associated BSRs through one 100Base-T port.
! Connector: 8-Pin RJ-45 (male)
! Cables:
! Crossover cable for looping the two 10BaseT ports
! Straight-through for connecting the PC to the 100BaseT port
