Console Port; Out-Of-Band Management Port; Usb Port - Dell Networking 7048 Configuration Manual

The front-panel switch ports have the following characteristics:
• The switch automatically detects the difference between crossed and
straight-through cables on RJ-45 ports.
• SFP ports support both SX and LX modules.
• RJ-45 ports support half- and full-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps.

Console Port

The console port is for management through a serial interface. This port
provides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access the CLI
from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial
cable (RJ-45 to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no
parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.

Out-of-Band Management Port

The Out-of-Band (OOB) management port is a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet port dedicated to remote switch management. Traffic on this port is
segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be
switched or routed to the operational network.

USB Port

The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory
drive. The PowerConnect switch can read or write to a flash drive formatted
as FAT-32. You can use a USB flash drive to copy switch configuration files
and images between the USB flash drive and the switch. You can also use the
USB flash drive to move and copy configuration files and images from one
switch to other switches in the network.
The USB port does not support any other type of USB device.
