Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines
The RP has two RJ45 media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet management LAN ports: MGT LAN 0
and MGT LAN 1 (Figure 1-23).
These ports are used for IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), or
1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet connections.
The transmission speed of the management LAN ports is not user-configurable. The transmission speed
is set through an auto-sensing scheme on the RP; the speed is determined by the network to which that
the Ethernet port is connected. The combined total input rate of both MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 is
about 12 Mbps.
Management port characteristics are:
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is fixed at 1514 and cannot be configured.
• Flow control is disabled and cannot be configured.
• Input unicast packets with an unknown destination address are filtered and dropped.
• Autonegotiation of port speed (10/100/1000) and duplex (full/half) is supported. Autonegotiation
cannot be disabled.
Table 1-5 lists the signals used on the Management LAN ports.
Management LAN Port LED Indicators
The Management LAN connectors have integral LED indicators (Figure 1-24). When lit, these LEDs
indicate:
• Green (LINK)—Connection is alive.
• Amber (ACT)—Connection is active.
