Table 6: Port Details Port Description Connector Type Speed/Protocol Console Establish a ‘config shell’ terminal RJ-45 • RS 232 Serial (115200 bits session through a serial connection. per second) • Data bits:8; Stop bits: 1 • Parity: None • Flow Control: None USB 2.0 port with a power output Future Use rating of 5V/0.3A (1.5W).
Important: If placing the device on a network segment separated from the server by a firewall, you must first open port 3851, the port assigned to Arista Networks, for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) bidirectional traffic on the firewall. Zero-configuration does not support setting up multiple devices to connect to multiple servers.
2. Mounting the AP on the bracket - Place the first mounting post on the back of the AP to the lower notch of the bracket. Rotate the AP so that the center mounting post fits in to the center notch on the bracket. Be sure all the mounting posts on the back of the AP snap to the respective notches on the bracket.
Use a compatible power adapter (Arista SKU: PWR-AP-W5) to power the AP. Warning: Install the C-460 AP with a UL-listed PoE power source suitable for operation at 40ºC and output that meets LPS requirements or PS2, with a 48V DC (0.5A minimum) rating. If you do not use PoE +, install the AP with an AC power adapter with a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2”,...
4. Log on to the server using SSH and run the get sensor list command. The command returns a list of all Arista devices recognized by the server. Single Sign-On users can go to the Monitor tab in CloudVision WiFi and check if the device appears on the Access Points tab.
' event logs to the server. Refer to the event for recommended action. The AP has encountered a problem. • If you use Arista Cloud Services, open the TCP port 443 (SSL). If you have an on- premises installation, then open UDP port 3851 and port 80. •...
You must manually configure the new communication key on an AP if not connected to the server when the key changes on the server. Note: Arista Networks does not recommend installing older versions of APs on newer versions of servers.
