About this task
This section provides reference information for the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series.

Console and management connections

The left front panel of the switch contains the Status LEDs, Console port, Out of Band Management
port, and a USB 2.1 port, as well as a micro-USB Type B port (reserved).
The rear panel of the switch contains the Base Unit switch and the Out of Band Management port.
Console port
The console port is the RJ45 port with a blue border outline. You can use the console port to
establish a management terminal connection to the switch. You can use an RJ45 to DB-9 cable, or a
DB-9 to RJ45 adapter to connect the switch console port to your management terminal. The
maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The following figure and table describe
the RJ45 console port pin-out information. You can use the pin-out information to verify or create a
console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.
