Ethernet Ports
Seven 10/100 Ethernet ports provide LAN connections to hubs, switches, local
servers, and workstations. You can also designate an Ethernet port for management
traffic. The ports are labeled 0/0 through 0/6. See "Default Device Settings" on
page 27 for the default zone bindings for each Ethernet port.
When configuring one of these ports, reference the interface name that
corresponds to the location of the port. From left to right on the front panel, the
interface names for the ports are ethernet0/0 through ethernet0/6 .
Figure 4 displays the location of the LEDs on each Ethernet port.

Console Port
The Console port is an RJ-45 serial port wired as data circuit-terminating equipment
(DCE) that can be used for local administration. Use a straight-through cable when
using a terminal connection and a crossover cable when connecting to another DCE
device. An RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is supplied.
See "Connectors" on page 47 for the RJ-45 connector pinouts.
