Hardware Overview 161
The console port is separately configurable and can be run as an asynchronous
link from 1200 BAUD to 115,200 BAUD.
The Dell CLI only supports changing the speed.
The defaults are 115,200 BAUD, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow
control.
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 separated 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. Connect the out-of-band port only to a
physically secure network.
USB Port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory
drive. The Dell EMC Networking N-Series switch can read or write to a flash
drive with a single partition formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to
copy switch configuration files and images between the USB flash drive and
the switch. It is also possible to use the USB flash drive to move and copy
configuration files and images from one switch to other switches in the
network. The system does not support the deletion of files on attached USB
flash drives.
The USB port does not support any other type of USB device.
Reset Button
The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and enables performing a
hard reset on the switch. To use the reset button, insert an unbent paper clip
or similar tool into the pinhole. When the switch completes the boot process
after the reset, it resumes operation with the most recently saved
configuration. Any changes made to the running configuration that were not
saved to the startup configuration prior to the reset are lost.
