Management Port Connector Pinout Information for a J-EX4200 Switch
The management port on a J-EX4200 switch uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a
management device for out-of-band management.
The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support a 10/100/1000Base-T
connection. Two LEDs on the port indicate link/activity on the port and the administrative
status of the port. See “Management Port LEDs in J-EX4200 Switches” on page 21.
Table 17 on page 31 provides the pinout information of the RJ-45 connector. An RJ-45
cable, with a connector attached, is supplied with the switch.
