Out-Of-Band Management (Oobm) Port; Usb-A Aux Port; Chassis And Port Leds On The Front Of The Switch - HP aruba 9300-32D Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

Aruba 9300-32D switches include an RJ-45 serial console port on the front of the switch. This port is used to
connect a console to the switch by using an RJ-45 serial cable (not supplied). A DB9-to-RJ-45 console cable
can be ordered from HPE: JL448A, Aruba X2C2 RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable.
The 9300-32D switches also include a micro-USB port on the front of the switch. This port can be used to
connect a console to the switch by using a standard micro-USB cable (not supplied). The micro-USB has
precedence for input. If both cables are plugged in, the console output is echoed to both the RJ-45 and the
micro-USB ports, but the input is only accepted from the micro-USB port.
Use of the micro-USB port may require the installation of a standard USB driver. New Windows

Out-of-band Management (OOBM) Port

This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the switch. To use it, connect an RJ-
45 network cable to the management port to manage the switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a
UNIX workstation.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be configured through a console port
connection or automatically from a DHCP/Bootp server.
A networked out-of-band connection through the management port allows you to manage data network
switches from a physically and logically separate management network.
For more information, see the Fundamentals Guide for your switch.

USB-A Aux Port

The USB-A port is used for file management, downloading switch software or use of Aruba accessories. This
port uses a USB Type-A connector.
