SFP Ports
Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports operate in full-duplex mode only and are present on the WS-X4013+TS, WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE supervisors, as well as some switching modules. These ports use the 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, Cisco Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM ) SFPs, 1000BASE-T SFP, and 1000BASE-ZX SFP. SFP connectors vary with interface type and may use multimode fiber (MMF), single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, or copper Ethernet cables.
10/100BASE-T Port
The 10/100BASE-T port supports emergency image recovery. The 10/100BASE-T port supports image downloads from the ROMMON. You can use this feature when the onboard Flash memory does not contain any IOS images, usually after all images were accidentally deleted from onboard Flash.
CONSOLE Port
The 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.
