below.

1. Console port
The console port provides serial communication using the RS-232 protocol to connect a console
terminal and access the C1048P command-line interface (CLI). To set up a console connection, use
the serial cable (RJ-45 to DB-9 female connectors) shipped with the C9010. The console port
operates as an asynchronous link from 1200 to 115,200 baud. The default settings are 9600 baud
rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and No Flow Control.
2. USB port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory drive. The C1048P can
read or write to a flash drive formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to copy files and images to
the C1048P.
3. Reset button
Access the reset button through a pinhole. To perform a hard reset of the C1048P, insert the tip of a
paper clip or similar tool into the pinhole. When the PE reboots, it re-establishes communication
with an attached C9010, which downloads the latest SW configuration settings.
4. Two 10GbE SFP+ ports
Two SFP+ ports provide 10GbE uplinks to communicate with a C9010. To connect to a C9010
switch, at least one C1048P 10GbE SFP+ port is required. On the C1048P, 10GbE SFP+ ports are
numbered 1 and 2, and only support uplinks to a parent C9010; they cannot be used as data ports.
5. Forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports
