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-
SBx81GT24 Line Card, listed in Table 1 on page 33. For the port pinouts,
refer to “Port Pinouts” on page 239.
The default setting for the port is Auto-Negotiation, which sets the speed
and duplex mode automatically. You may disable Auto-Negotiation and
configure the port manually. The port is referred to as ETH0 in the
AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically with
automatic MDIX detection. You may disable automatic MDIX detection
and set the wiring configuration manually.

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 184 or the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series
Switches.
