Appendix D Module Overview and Specifications

Supervisor Engines

Front-Panel Components

The following connectors, LEDs, and buttons are located on the front panel of the supervisor engine:

The STATUS LED, which indicates the operating state of the module

Four SFP Gigabit uplinks ports (via the Twin Gig converter) or 2 10-Gigabit X2 uplink ports

Eight unmarked switch load indicator LEDs, which provide an approximation of the current traffic across the backplane

A console port (RJ-45)

An Ethernet management port (RJ-45)

A link status LED, which provides status for the management port (10/100BASE-T on the WS-X4516-10GE supervisor engine)

The Reset button (recessed), which allows you to reset the system

The Compact Flash port and eject button (refer to Using the Compact Flash on the Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engines.)

The Twin Gig ports are the modules described in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7077/prod_module_installation_guide09186a00807e0ca4
