Access Ports (Ethernet Ports)
The 7010 controller is equipped with sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports (0 to 15). Gigabit Ethernet
uses all eight wires and each pair is bi-directional, which means, the same pair is used for both data transmission and
data reception. Figure 3 illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for a RJ-45 connector. The pins paired on a 10/
100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.
Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
All Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE, providing up to 15.4 W of DC power, and IEEE
802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), supplying up to 30.0 W of DC power to connected devices, but the power
per port is subject to the total PoE power (150W) available in the chassis.
Ethernet Port LEDs
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs allowing you to monitor the status and activity on
the port. These LEDs provide basic monitoring of the status and activity of each port.

LINK/ACT : Placed on the left side of the port, and displays the link status and activity of the port.

STATUS : Placed on the right side of the port, and displays the status of the port based on the information
displayed by this LED changes based on LCD’s mode.
8 Management Port Used to connect to a separate management network
9 Mini USB Console Port Provides console access for direct local access
10 Console Port RJ-45 serial console access port
11 AC in AC power connector
12 Grounding Points Used to attach the grounding screws
In the Aruba 7010 controller, the access ports 0 to 11 that support PoE/PoE+ are numbered in orange and the
access ports 12 to 15 that do not support PoE are numbered in gray.
