Ethernet Management Port
The WS-X4012 supervisor engine has a 10BASE-T Ethernet management port.
The WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE supervisor engine modules have a
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management port.The other supervisor engine
modules have a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management port. Supervisor engines
use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the location
of the port, see Figure 1-1 (WS-X4012), Figure 1-2 (WS-X4013), Figure 1-3
(WS-X4013+), Figure 1-4 (WS-X4013+TS), Figure 1-5 (WS-X4013+10GE),
Figure 1-6 (WS-X4014), Figure 1-7 (WS-X4515), Figure 1-8 (WS-X4516), or
Figure 1-9 (WS-X4516-10GE).
TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are
provided through this port (Telnet and SNMP). This management port also
supports image download.
Note The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network
management only. These ports do not support network switching.
Console Port
The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
• Configure the switch from the CLI
• Monitor network statistics and errors
• Configure SNMP agent parameters
• Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images
residing in Flash memory to attached devices
The Catalyst 4003 console port is a DCE DB-25 receptacle, which supports a
DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle on the
Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507.
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance
as a standard by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
