connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or
SNMP-based network management software.
The management port provides a dedicated management channel that
operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to
re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote
connection when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed
insecure.
For a detailed description of the switch's advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.
Description of Hardware
This device is an intelligent Layer 2 VDSL2 switch with 16 VDSL ports for
subscriber access to the data network, and two Gigabit Ethernet
*
combination ports
for uplink traffic. The uplink ports are implemented as
10/100/1000BASE-T ports shared with SFP transceiver slots (see Figure
1-1, Ports 17-18). The switch also includes one 10/100BASE-TX port for
dedicated management access (which can be operated outside the data
channel).
The VDSL switch combines data and voice signals for delivery over
standard telephone cable to multiple users in residential or commercial
buildings. Ethernet data signals are received on the switch uplink port(s)
and passed to the 16 VDSL ports on the front panel via 16 internal
Ethernet ports.
*
If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port (17 or 18) is disabled.
