Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide 2-13
Introduction Hardware Overview
Note
The RS 8000/8600 supports the use of dual PC cards, one in slot0, the other in
slot1. Each PC card is treated as an independent file system by the RS. For detailed
information regarding the PC flash file system and the management of
configuration files, see the “Riverstone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide.”
•
Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection to a management
terminal. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the RS. The default baud rate is 9600.
The following table lists the pin assignments for the male DB-9 connector on the Control Module and for the male
DB-9 connector on the management console.
•
10/100Base-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network (“in-band”) connection to a
management terminal. The port is configured as a Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to
establish a management connection to the RS over a local or bridged Ethernet segment.
The following table lists the pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector on the Control Module and for the RJ-45
connector on the network side of the cable.
