Management Ports
Ethernet Management Port
You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the
10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or one of the console ports (see Figure 1-10). The 10/100/1000
Ethernet management port is a VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) interface and uses a RJ-45 crossover or
straight-through cable.
Table 1-17 shows the Ethernet management port LED colors and their meanings.
RJ-45 Console Port
The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
Table 1-18 shows the RJ-45 console port LED colors and their meanings.
