Console Port
The console port is for management through a serial interface. This port
provides a direct connection to the switch and provides access to the CLI
from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial
cable (RJ-45 to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no
parity bit, and no flow control. The default BAUD is 9600 bps.
Out-of-Band Management Port
The Out-of-Band (OOB) management port is a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet port connected directly to the switch CPU and dedicated to switch
management. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network
traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to or from the
operational network. In addition, ACLs (including management ACLS), do
not operate on the out-of-band port. Only connect the out-of-band port to a
physically secure network.
