1000 ports. Half-duplex operation is supported only at the 10/100 speed.

The SafeGuard Controller management ports are:
■ One RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port for out-of-band IP-based management
■ One RS-232 management port (male DB-9, DTE) to access the CLI
The compact flash slot provides a way to store configuration files.
The SafeGuard Controller provides two power input connectors, either two AC
connectors or an AC and a DC connector. Although a single power connection is
adequate to operate the SafeGuard Controller, connecting both power supplies provides
backup power that can prevent unscheduled downtime.
