Ports that can be found on the front panel of this switch are listed in the table below. 
The RJ45 (8 pins) Alarm port provides an external alarm detection. The Switch will 
send out the traps and logs when two of the pins are shorted among the pair. 
Inserting a flash drive into the USB 2.0 Type-A port provides an additional storage 
space for portable firmware images and configuration files that can be copied to 
and from the NVRAM of the Switch. 
The RJ45 MGMT port is an IP-based, OOB port for Telnet, web, or SNMP 
management that operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps wire-speed. This port can be 
used to configure the Switch without being connected to the network. 
The RJ45 console port can be used to connect to the CLI of the Switch for 
configuration, management, and monitoring. This port uses a special console 
cable (included in this package) with a DB9 interface to connect the Switch to the 
serial port (COM) of the PC. 
The Mini-USB console port can be used to connect to the CLI of the Switch for 
configuration, management, and monitoring. 
The Switch is equipped with 20 SFP ports. These ports can operate at 100 Mbps 
and 1 Gbps wire-speeds. 
The Switch is equipped with 4 combo ports that can either operate as RJ45 Ethernet 
ports or SFP ports. The RJ45 ports can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 
Gbps wire-speeds. The SFP ports can operate at 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps wire-
speeds and support a wide collection of SFP transceivers. 
The Switch is equipped with 4 SFP/SFP+ ports. These ports can operate at 1 
Gbps and 10 Gbps wire-speeds and support a wide collection of SFP/SFP+ 
transceivers.
