Console Port
The console port is labeled CONSOLE (see
). It is an EIA/TIA-232
interface for connecting to the serial port of a PC running terminal emulation
software. Using the console port, you can manage the storage router with the
storage router command line interface (CLI). The console port uses an 8-pin
RJ-45 receptacle; it has no LEDs.
Caution:
The console cable may be connected to the unit during installation
and maintenance only. The console cable must be disconnected from the unit
when not in use during normal operation to minimize the electromagnetic
interference.
10/100 Ethernet Management Port
The 10/100 Ethernet management port is labeled MGMT 10/100 (see
). It
is a 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet interface for connecting to a management
network. Through a management network, you can manage the storage router
using the CLI, the web-based GUI, or SNMP. The 10/100 Ethernet management
port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 receptacle and has LEDs indicating its status, as
described in “
10/100 Ethernet HA Port
The 10/100 Ethernet high-availability (HA) port is labeled HA 10/100 (see
). It is a 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet interface for connecting to an HA
network. The port allows the storage router to function in a multiple-node cluster
with other storage routers to provide fault-tolerant operation. The 10/100 Ethernet
HA port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 receptacle and has LEDs indicating its status, as
described in “
Fibre Channel Ports
The Fibre Channel ports are labeled FC 1 and FC 2 (see
). Each port
provides a 1-Gigabit/2-Gigabit Fibre Channel interface for connecting to storage
systems, Fibre Channel switches, Fibre Channel hosts, or other HP storage
networking products. Each Fibre Channel port can be configured as one of the
following port types: G_Port, GL_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, or TL_Port. Each port
uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module for connection to the port’s
