The “Console” port is an RS232 serial port on the front side of the chassis that is used for
initial configuration and debugging. Upon first installation of the system, the user must
connect a PC to this interface and configure network parameters for remote connections.
To view the full procedure, refer to Interface Configuration and Management chapter in
the Cumulus Linux User Guide.
Management
The RJ45 Ethernet “MGT” port provides access for remote management. The
management port is configured with auto-negotiation capabilities by default (10MbE to
1000MbE). The management ports’ network attributes (such as IP address) need to be
pre-configured via the RS232 serial console port or by DHCP before use. To view the full
procedure, refer to Interface Configuration and Management chapter in the Cumulus
Linux User Guide.
USB
The USB interface is USB 3.0 compliant and can be used by the operating system to
connect to an external disk for software upgrade or file management. The connector
complies with the USB 3.0 type A standard.
