Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the
10/100
Ethernet management port or the console port (shown in Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8). The 10/100
Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The
console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
Table 1-15 lists the Ethernet management port LED colors and their meanings.
For more information about the switch management ports, see the switch software configuration guide
and the command reference on Cisco.com and the
“Connector and Cable Specifications” section on
page B-1.
