Interface Modules

The nonremovable interface module is located above slot 1 (see Figure 1-7) and is identical for all Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches. It provides the following local and remote management interfaces:

•RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) console port with an RJ-45 connection that you can use to:

–Configure the switch from the CLI.

–Monitor network statistics and errors.

–Configure SNMP agent parameters.

•MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connection that provides network management capabilities.

•RS-232 COM1 port with a DB-9 connector that can be attached to a modem.
