Steps:
On each spine Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 Switch, cross-connect ports 5/1 and 5/2 to your (next-layer) 10GbE data center switches.
An image shows the port side of a spine Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 Switch, with a breakout cable connected to port 5, splitting the switch port into four SFP+ cable connections. A detail bubble shows the single-ended connector of the breakout cable being inserted into switch port 5. The two tranceivers on the four-way-split end of the breakout cable, which must be connected to the data center network, are identified as ports 5/1 and 5/2.
Connect a workstation with a web browser directly to the management network using an Ethernet cable plugged into port 48 of the Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP Switch.
An image shows the location of port 48 on the port side of the switch, which is the side visible from the back of the rack.
Configure the workstation's wired network connection to use the IP address 192.168.4.254.
