Out of Band Management port
The Out of Band Management port is the RJ45 port directly below the console port. The port is
labelled management, and can support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections. The Out of Band
Management port is available for use when the switch is running diagnostic or agent software. You
can use the Out of Band Management port to perform an emergency TFTP download of diagnostic
or agent software to the switch. When you perform a TFTP download, an IP address is temporarily
assigned to the management port which enables the switch to receive files from the TFTP server.
When the switch is running agent software, you can use the Out of Band Management port
configured with an out of band management IP and gateway for remote management. For more
information about Out of Band Management configuration, see Getting Started with Avaya Virtual
Services Platform 7000 Series, NN47202–303.
USB port
The USB port is a Standard Type-A female USB 2.0 port. The switch provides USB host
functionality and can support USB flash drives.
