10/100/1000Base-T Management Port
The 10/100/1000Base-T Management port is a standard
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet port. The
module communicates with your network through this port
when it performs any of the management functions that
require a network connection. (Although the management
module can configure the operating parameters of the
media converter modules in a chassis, it cannot transmit or
receive management packets through the ports in the
media converter channels.)
This port must be connected to a device on your network,
such as a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch, if the
module will be performing any of the following management
functions:
ˆ Remote management using the Telnet or Secure Shell
(SSH) application protocol
ˆ Upload or download files to its file system using a TFTP
server.
ˆ Set its date and time from a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server.
ˆ Send events to a syslog server.
ˆ Obtain an IP configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP
server.
ˆ Send or receive TCP/IP ping requests from network
devices.
ˆ Send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
traps to an SNMP management program.
The port can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either
half- or full-duplex mode. The port has a standard RJ-45
8-pin connector and uses TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant
Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps operation and TIA/
EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) cable
for 100 or 1000 Mbps operation. The port has a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters. For port pinouts, refer to
“10/100/1000Base-T Management Port Pinouts” on
page 68.
