Front Panel Components
The front panel features components like LED indicators, a Console port, an MGMT port, a micro-USB port, a reset
button, and a variety of Ethernet ports. These components are described in detail below.
This following table lists the front panel components on
all
the switches in the series:
Port
Description
Console Port
The console port can be used to connect to the CLI of the Switch. This Out-Of-
Band (OOB) connection can be made from the serial port of an administrative node
to the RJ45 console port on the front panel of the Switch. The console cable
(included in the package) must be used for the connection.
MGMT Port
The management (MGMT) port can be used to connect to the CLI or the Web UI of
the Switch. SNMP-enabled connectivity can also be made through this port. This
OOB connection can be made from a standard LAN adapter to the RJ45 MGMT
port on the front panel of the Switch. This connection operates at 10/100/1000
Mbps.
Micro-USB Port
The micro-USB port provides additional storage space for firmware images and
configuration files that can be copied to and from the Switch. Only endpoint
devices like USB flash drives are supported.
Reset Button
The reset button can be used to reboot the switch or to reset the switch to its
factory default settings depending on how long this button is pressed.
•
Press and hold for less than 5 seconds
This reboots the Switch. All unsaved configurations will be lost.
•
Press and hold for between 5 and 10 seconds
This resets the software configuration on the Switch to the factory default
settings.
Information Tag
The sliding information tag is discretely located on the front panel, right next to the
QSFP28 ports, and contains the product code, hardware version, serial number,
and MAC address of the Switch. The QR code can be scanned to quickly obtain
the abovementioned information.
