Switch Management Card (SMC)
The Switch Management Card (SMC) provides switch fabric and system management access to the
chassis using a serial console cable connected to the Console port or an Ethernet cable connected to the
MGT port. The SMC also provides high availability (HA) connectivity between two chassis. LED
indicators provide information on various components of the chassis.
IMPORTANT:
The SMC must be installed in slot 4 and is required to operate the device.

Description
1.
HA1-A
Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for High Availability (HA) control and
synchronization. Connect this port directly from HA1-A port the first
device in the pair to the HA1-A on the second device in the pair, or connect
them together through a switch or router.
HA1 cannot be configured on NPC data ports or the MGT port.
2.
HA1-B
Ethernet 10/100/1000 port for high-availability (HA) control and
synchronization used as a backup for HA1-A. Connect this port directly
from HA1-B port the first device in the pair to the HA1-B on the second
device in the pair, or connect them together through a switch or router.
HA1 cannot be configured on NPC data ports or the MGT port.
3.
MGT
Ethernet 10/100/1000 port to access the device management interfaces
through an Ethernet interface. The default URL for the MGT port is https:/
/192.168.1.1. For example, change the management computer IP address to
192.168.1.2, connect directly to the MGT port and browse to the MGT IP
address. You can also SSH to 192.168.1.1. The default login name and
password is admin/admin.
