Chapter 1 Product Overview
Hardware Features
Internal 100BASE-T Ethernet Management Port
The internal Ethernet management port (MGMT1) is used only for Switch Module management traffic,
not for data traffic. It is connected to the IBM Advanced Management Module (aMM) through the blade
enclosure backplane connector. Traffic to and from this port is isolated from the switch module ports.
This port only supports autonegotiation with 100 Mb/s and full-duplex mode.
The Switch Module supports two 100Base-T Ethernet ports connected to the Management Modules
through the backplane. The two Management Module Ethernet interfaces are combined into a single
Ethernet interface on the switch module management circuits. Which of the two Management Module
interfaces is active is determined by the chassis.
