System reset button
The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supply off and on, using the CLI. When the reset button is
pressed, the system resets and the software is reloaded. The button is located to the left of the console management interface.
Network interfaces for ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices
ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices contain the following interfaces:
•
10/100/1000 Mbps ports with RJ-45 copper connectors
•
SFP and SFP+ ports
SFP ports support 1 Gbps port speeds. SFP+ ports support 10 Gbps port speeds.
NOTE
ICX 6430 models support SFP ports only. ICX 6450 models support both SFP and SFP+ ports.
Slot designations
Refer to
Network and management interfaces
on page 15 for the location of slot 1 and slot 2 on the front panel of the 24-port models
and the 48-port models.

10/100/1000 BASE-T ports
All devices provide 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex.
Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs,
servers, or other devices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to use straight-through cables for switch-to-switch connections.
Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)
can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of the port can be configured manually.
SFP or SFP+ fiber ports
ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices contain four small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports 1 through 4). The top row consists of ports
1 and 3, and the bottom row consists of ports 2 and 4. These ports reside on slot 2 of the stackable switch and can be used as uplink
(data) ports or stacking ports.
