Gigabit Ethernet Port LEDs

The Gigabit Ethernet ports shown in Figure 2-5are RJ-45 connectors that provide connection to an Ethernet SAN through a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet cable. The ports are labeled GE1 and GE2. Each of these ports supports connections that run the iSCSI high-level TCP protocol.

Figure 2-5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

These ports each have two LEDs:

„The activity LED (green) lights up when the port transmits or receives data over the Ethernet connection.

„The link status LED (green) lights up continuously when the port establishes an Ethernet connection.

Ethernet Port—Management

The management Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-6is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. The port is labeled MGMT.
