Front Panel Description

Management Port

The management port is used (in ROMMON mode only) to recover a switch software image that has been corrupted or destroyed due to a network catastrophe. This port is not active while the switch is operating normally.

You should designate one of the normalports on your switch as a management port, used for configuration and monitoring traffic. D o not connect the management port to this network, it is only intended to be used from a direct console connection.

SFP Module Ports

The switch uses Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules to establish fiber-optic connections. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP module port. You can use the SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections to other switches. You use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors to connect to a fiber-optic SFP module. You use Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect to a copper SFP module.

For more information about these SFP modules, refer to your SFP module documentation.

LEDs

You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance. Figure 1-2and Figure 1-3show the switch LEDs.
