MGMT port
This port allows remote network connections to the SmartNA-X web UI and CLI management interfaces. See,
Management port cabling for network access
on page 22.
CONSOLE port
This port allows direct, serial connections to the command line interface (CLI).
Management port cabling for serial access
The CONSOLE port provides serial access to the CLI from a PC that is running terminal emulation software.
To complete this task, you will need:
• The supplied DE-9 female to 8P8C (RJ45) serial management cable cable (see figure below). This cable is also known
as a Cisco Console Cable, Cisco Management Cable, Yost Serial Cable, or Rollover Cable.
• A PC with a serial COM port.
• Terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY (

).

• Baud Rate: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
