26Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series hardware

The Console port is a DB-9, RS-232-D male serial port connector. You can use this connector to connect a management station, console, or terminal to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series by using a straight-through DB-9 to DB-9 standard serial port cable. You must use a VT100/ANSI-compatible terminal (for cursor control and to activate cursor and functions keys) to use the Console port.

The default settings of the Console port are:

•9600 baud with eight data bits

•one stop bit

•no parity as the communications format

•flow control set to disabled

Gigabit Interface Converter

Small Form Factor Pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with fiber optic networks.

SFP GBIC Support on the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series

Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other Gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types.

The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series supports the following SFPs:

•1000Base-SX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: LC)

•1000Base-SX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: MT-RJ)

•1000Base-LX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: LC)

•CWDM SFPs

For more information about the SFP GBICs see Installing Gigabit Interface Converters, SFPs, and CWDM SFP Gigabit Interface Converters (312865).

Port connectors

The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series uses 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connectors.

The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series uses autosensing ports designed to operate at 10 Mb/s (megabits per second) or at 100 Mb/s, depending on the connecting device. These ports support the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiation standard, which means that when a port is connected

to another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, the two devices negotiate the best speed and duplex mode.
