Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. These ports use the 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, CWDM, and DWDM Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs). The GBICs have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For further information on GBICs, see the “GBIC Handling Guidelines and Installation” section on page 18.

When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4510R or Catalyst 4507R switch, all four uplinks are active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks will be active in a nonredundant configuration. When using the Supervisor Engine V, slot

10(the Flex-Slot) in the Catalyst 4510R switch supports the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X4302-GB) or the Access Gateway Module (WS-X4604-GWY).

Ethernet Management Port

The Ethernet 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.

Console Port

The Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine V console port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. The console port allows you to perform the following functions:

•Configure the switch from the CLI

•Monitor network statistics and errors

•Configure SNMP agent parameters

Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).

Reset Button

The Reset button is used to restart the switch.

Note Use a paper clip or other small, pointed object to press the Reset button.
