Interface Modules
The nonremovable interface module is located above slot 1 (see Figure 1-7) and is identical for all Cisco
MDS 9200 Series switches. It provides the following local and remote management interfaces:
• RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) console port with an RJ-45 connection that you can use to:
–
Configure the switch from the CLI.
–
Monitor network statistics and errors.
–
Configure SNMP agent parameters.
• MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connection that provides network management
capabilities.
• RS-232 COM1 port with a DB-9 connector that can be attached to a modem.

The clock module is also part of the interface module.
Note The system clocks in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series have a field-measured mean time between failures
(MTBF) of approximately 3.2 million hours or 365 years. In the event of a clock module failure, the
system generates an error message.
