4 Ports
As a best practice, use H3C transceiver modules and cables for the switch. H3C transceiver
modules and cables are subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date list of H3C transceiver
modules and cables, contact H3C Support or marketing staff. For information about the
specifications and views of H3C transceiver modules and cables, see H3C Transceiver Modules
User Guide.
Console port
Each switch model (except the LS-6850-56HF-H3) has two console ports: one serial console port
and one mini USB console port. The LS-6850-56HF-H3 switch has one serial console port.

Services
• Provides connection to an ASCII
terminal.
• Provides connection to the serial port of
a local PC running terminal emulation
program.
• Provides connection to an ASCII
terminal.
• Provides connection to the USB
port of a local PC running terminal
emulation program.
A console port and a mini USB console port cannot be connected simultaneously. If both ports are
connected, only the mini USB console port takes effect.
Management Ethernet port
Each switch model (except the LS-6850-56HF-H3) has two management Ethernet ports: one copper
management port and one SFP management port. The LS-6850-56HF-H3 switch has one copper
management port. You can connect the ports to a local PC for software loading and debugging or to
a remote management station for remote management.
