Item Description
Console port The local debugging serial port.
It is used to connect the serial port of a PC. The terminal emulation
program can run on the PC.
It can be used as the command line interface (CLI) and also for board
or system debugging, testing, serial port printing, background
operation, troubleshooting, and online upgrading.

It provides remote configuration, connects the modem, and establishes
the connection with the remote router by dialing.
When faults occur on the console port, you can use the AUX port as
the console port.
10/100/1000M
Ethernet port
Provides the remote logon Telnet function and can be used for board
or system debugging, testing, background operation, fault diagnosis,
online upgrading, and remote operation.
100/1000M
Ethernet port
Similar to the 10/100/1000M Ethernet port, this port is used for
debugging.
