The NET MGMT port has a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and operates
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable
requirements for this port are the same as the ports on the AT-
SBx31GT24 Line Card, given in Table 13 on page 56. For the port pinouts,
refer to “Port Pinouts” on page 292.
The port uses Auto-Negotiation to set its speed. You may not disable Auto-
Negotiation. To avoid a speed or duplex mode mismatch, you should
connect the port only to a device that also uses Auto-Negotiation. If
connected to a network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation, it
defaults to 10 Mbps, half-duplex mode.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically with
automatic MDIX detection. You may not disable automatic MDIX
detection. For automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the network
device you connect to the port must also support the feature. If it does not,
the NET MGMT port defaults to MDIX. This may entail the use of a
crossover cable. Here are the guidelines to choosing straight-through or
crossover cabling for the port:
SNMPv1 and v2c Used to remotely manage the
chassis with SNMP.
SNTP client Used to set the date and time on
the control card, from an NTP or
SNTP server on your network or
the Internet.
Syslog client Used to send the event messages
from the control card to syslog
servers on your network for
storage.
TACACS+ client Used with a TACACS+ server on
your network for remote
management authentication.
Telnet server Used to remotely manage the
chassis with a Telnet client.
TFTP client Used with a TFTP server on your
network to download files to or
upload files from the control card.
TRACEROUTE Used to determine the
intermediate nodes (or hops) of
network paths.
