Serial management interface (Console port)
The serial management interface (port labeled Console) enables you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal
emulation application on a directly-connected PC, straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) is included. The console port is
located in the upper right of the front panel.
Management port
The Management port provides connectivity to your existing management network through 10/100/1000 copper ports that uses
auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex)
of the port at the other end of the link, and adjusts port speed accordingly. The Management port on the TurboIron 24X supports RJ-45
copper connectors, auto MDI or MDIX detection, and has an RJ-45 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connector.
NOTE
This port interfaces with the CPU only and not the data plane.
