Ethernet Management Port (NET MGMT)

LEDs
The NET MGMT port in the management panel of the switch is a separate
routed eth0 interface. The interface is not part of the switching matrix of
the Ethernet line cards, but the CPU on the controller card can route traffic
in or out of the port.
Here are the guidelines to using the port:
The port should only be used for initial configuration and

maintenance access to the chassis.
The NET MGMT port has a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and

operates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex
mode.
The cable requirements for the port are the same as the ports on

the AT-x930-28GTX Switch, listed in "Cable Requirements" on
page 32. For the port pinouts, refer to "RJ-45 Copper Port Pinouts"
on page 210.
The default setting for the port is Auto-Negotiation, which sets the

speed and duplex mode automatically. You may disable Auto-
Negotiation and configure the port manually.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically

with automatic MDIX detection. You may disable automatic MDIX
detection and set the wiring configuration manually.
The port is referred to as eth0 in the management software.

For instructions on how to configure the NET MGMT port, refer to the
Software Reference for x930 Series Switches.
The Network Management (NET MGMT) port on the switch has two Status
LEDs, described in Table 6.
