hi mates :)
On 4500 series switches there is a 10/100 ethernet management port.(next to console port on the supervisor engine). Unfortunately there is not enough documentation about this port on cisco web site.
I will really appreciate any help about the below questions. It would be helpful even if you can partly answer the questions.
1. How can I reach this port? do I have to assign IP address in order to use this port?
2. How shall I assign IP address to 10/100 ethernet management port? ( through CLI ?)
3. Is it possible to reach this port through another Layer2 switch?
4. Is this a regular ethernet port where I can connect 100 meters away from the port using CAT 5 cable?
5. What is this port called on CLI? example for 7th gigabit port on slot 1 is called: #interface gigabitethernet 1/7
what would be the interface name for 10/100 management port?
thanks for helping :)
