Appendix D Module Overview and Specifications

Switching Modules

Ethernet Management Port

The WS-X4013+10GE supervisor engine modules have a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management port. Supervisor engines use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the location of the port, see Figure D-1(WS-X4516-10GE).

TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are provided through this port (Telnet and SNMP). This management port also supports image download.

Note The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network management only. These ports do not support network switching.

Console Port

The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle. 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

Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images residing in Flash memory to attached devices

Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the

Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
