Ethernet Management Port
The WS-X4013+10GE supervisor engine modules have a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management
port. Supervisor engines use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the
location of the port, see
Figure D-1 (WS-X4516-10GE).
TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are provided through this port
(Telnet and SNMP). This management port also supports image download.
Note The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network management only.
These ports do not support network switching.
Console Port
The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle. The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
• Configure the switch from the CLI
• Monitor network statistics and errors
• Configure SNMP agent parameters
• Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images residing in Flash memory to
attached devices
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
Supervisor Memory
Table D-2 lists the memory and processor specifications for the Supervisor engine.
