SMC Networks SMC7824M/FSW manual Management Connections, 3 Management Port Connections

CONNECTION EXAMPLES

Management Connections

This switch can be managed over built-in RJ-45 Ports 27-28, Ports 25-26 when optional 1000BASE-T/SFP uplink modules are installed, or over the 100BASE-T RJ-45 management port. The 100BASE-T port provides a dedicated management channel that operates outside of the data transport network, making it possible to re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote connection to the management port when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.

The figure below illustrates management-port connections to FTTH switches.
