To connect the supervisor modules to the network, follow these steps for each supervisor module:
Step 1 Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the MGMT ETH port on the supervisor module.
Route the cable through the central slot in the cable management system.
Step 2
Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the network device.

Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port

The CMP, which is included on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series supervisor module, is a secondary,
lightweight processor that provides a second network interface to the system for use even when the
Control Processor (CP) is not reachable. You can access the CMP to perform operations, such as taking
over the CP console, restarting the CP, or restarting a particular I/O module.
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the CMP MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port to the
Caution
network until the initial configuration is complete. For more information, see the
Console" section on page
To connect the CMP to the network, follow these steps for each installed supervisor module:
Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port on the supervisor module.
Step 1
Step 2 Route the cable through the cable management system and to the networking device.
To configure the port, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Connectivity Management Processor
Configuration Guide.

Connecting an I/O Module

After you set up an IP address for the device and create an out-of-band management connection for the
device, you can connect the copper (1000Base-T) and fiber optic (SFP+) I/O modules to the network.
The 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module has 1000Base-T ports, and the 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet
Note
module has SFP+ ports.
