Ports
External Gigabit Ethernet Ports (2) The two external ports provide additional GBIC uplink
capabilities, in addition to the available DFE ports.
When referring to these ports with DFE CLI commands, use
the following syntax to designate port type, slot location, and
port number:
ge.slot.port#
where ge is the port type, slot is the slot location of the DFE
module within the chassis, and port# is the port number. The
port # will be designated as the next sequential ge port after
the last ge port on the DFE module.
For example, if the MSM is installed on a DFE module
located in slot 1 that provides 18 Gigabit Ethernet ports,
then the MSM ports can be referenced as ge.1.19 and
ge.1.20 when executing DFE CLI commands.
Mini-GBIC slots can be mix-and-match, 1000BASE-SX, -LX,
-ELX and 1000BASE-T compliant Mini-GBICs. Refer to
“Mini-GBIC Input/Output Specifications” on page A-5.
Internal Gigabit Ethernet Ports (2) The two internal ports connect to the on-board processor
and are used by the installed Dragon Intrusion Defense
System or Enterasys Sentinel TAG application. These ports
have the same capabilities as any other DFE port.
When referring to these ports with DFE CLI commands, use
the following syntax to designate port type, slot location, and
port number:
pc.slot.port#
where pc is the port type, slot is the slot location of the DFE
module within the chassis, and port# is the port number,
either 1 or 2.
RS 232 Serial COM Port Provides connection for Local Management.
VGA Port Provides display monitor connection.
