Connectivity

The switch connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through the fixed front panel RJ45 connectors and four uplink ports that support optional Mini‐GBICs.

At the time of this printing, the six Mini‐GBICs available from Enterasys are described in Table 1‐2 on page 1‐6. These Mini‐GBICs meet or exceed the IEEE 802.3z‐1998 standard.

details, refer to MGBIC-02 Specifications (1000BASE-T) on page A-6.

 

 

Management

Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks’ NetSight® management application, or the WebView application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.

Switch Configuration Using WebView

Enterasys Networks’ HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.
