NET MGMT
LED
The Network Management (NET MGMT) port on the AT-SBx81CFC400
Controller Fabric Card has one Status LED, described in Table 13.
Console (RS-232)
Port
The Console Port is used to conduct local management sessions with the
switch. Local management sessions are established with a terminal or PC
with a terminal emulation program, and the management cable that comes
with the card.
Local management is referred to as out-of-band management because it
is not conducted over a network. Consequently, the AT-SBx81CFC400
Controller Fabric Card does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for
this type of management.
Your initial management session with the switch must be a local
management session. For instructions on how to start a local management
session, refer to “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on
page 182 or the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series
Switches.
USB Port
The USB port supports a flash drive. You may use a flash drive to perform
the following management functions:
 Store backup copies of the master configuration and database files
on the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card.
 Transfer master configuration files between controller cards in
different chassis that are to have similar configurations.
 Transfer application load files between controller cards.
 Store streaming log files.
