Management Ports
Console Ports
There are two serial console port options on the switch, an RJ-45 or Micro USB. These ports are
used to connect a console to the switch either by using the RJ-45 serial cable supplied with the
switch, or a standard Micro USB cable (not supplied). The Micro USB connector has precedence
for input, so if both cables are plugged in, the console output is echoed to both the RJ and
Micro-USB ports. But, the input is only accepted from the Micro-USB.
For more information on the console connection, see “10. (Optional) Connect a Management
console” (page 44). The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator,
or a VT-100 terminal.
Auxiliary (Aux) Port
An auxiliary port for processing a USB command file or downloading switch software code. This
port uses a USB Type A connector, but does not comply with all USB protocols and standards.
Switch and Port LEDs on Front of the switches
• Front of Switch Status and Mode LED Behavior describes the switch chassis and Flex Port
status LEDs and also the Switch Mode LEDs.
• Table 9 (page 15) describes the switch Port LEDs and their different mode behaviors.
