8691 SF/CPU Ethernet management port
The Ethernet management port is an MDI 10/100BASE-TX port that
allows out-of-band management of the switch using a Web browser or
Device Manager. You can also establish a Telnet or SSH (Secure Shell)
session to access the CLI. Use this port to connect the switch to a network
management station. The Ethernet management port has its own IP
address, but does not switch traffic to other ports in the chassis.
This port can be used only as a management port. This port provides
out-of-band management for the 8691 SF/CPU module.
8691 SF/CPU DCE/DTE switch
The DCE/DTE switch changes the pin assignments on the Console port.
You can designate the connector as either DTE or DCE. For information
about pin assignments for the Console port, see
“8691 SF/CPU Console
port” (page 142) .
8691 SF/CPU serial ports
The 8691 SF/CPU module provides two serial ports for attaching modem
and console devices. The Console port provides CLI terminal access to
the 8691 SF/CPU module. Use the Modem port to connect a standard
modem for out-of-band, dial-up management. For information about pin
assignments for these ports, see
“8691 SF/CPU serial ports” (page 71) .
8691 SF/CPU Reset button
The recessed Reset button on the module performs a hard reset or
reboot of the system. To press the Reset button, insert a small object (for
example, a paper clip) into the Reset button hole.
