The B24X front panel has the following control features:
v Serial management interface-DB-9 connector interface (Console Port)
v 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Management Port
Figure 2. Console and Management ports
Serial management interface (Console port)
The serial management interface (port labeled Console) enables you to configure
and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a
directly connected PC, straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) is
included. The console port is located in the upper right of the front panel.
Management port
The Management port provides connectivity to your existing management network
through 10/100/1000 copper ports that uses auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to
determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or
half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link, and adjusts port speed
accordingly. The Management port on the B24X supports RJ-45 copper connectors,
auto MDI or MDIX detection, and has an RJ-45 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
connector.
Note: This port interfaces with the CPU only and not the data plane.
Network interfaces
Table 4 describes the network interfaces supported on B24X devices. For network
interface specifications, refer to Table 13 on page 47.
