Connectivity

7G4285-49

Depending on how the 7G4285‐49 DFE module is configured, it can support up to:
• 48, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX/1000BASE‐T switched ports connected through 48 fixed
front panel connectors, or
• 48, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX/10001000BASE‐T switched ports and an optional network
expansion module.
The fixed front panel ports can also support connections to PoE‐compliant PDs when the
module is connected to an external N‐PoE Power System or installed in a Matrix N5
chassis.
7G4205-72
The 7G4205‐72 can support up to 72, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX/1000BASE‐T switched ports
connected through 72 fixed front panel connectors.
The fixed front panel ports can also support connections to PoE‐compliant PDs when the
module is installed in a Matrix N5 chassis.

Management

Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote
management is possible using Telnet, the Enterasys Networks NetSight
application, or WebView™ application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through
the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a
VT100 terminal emulator.

Switch Configuration Using WebView

Enterasys Networks' HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an
intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.
