Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor Engine V
78-15590-02
Supervisor Engine V
Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. These ports use the 1000BASE-T,
1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, CWDM, and DWDM Gigabit Interface Converters
(GBICs). The GBICs have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode
fiber (SMF) cable. For further information on GBICs, see the “GBIC Handling Guidelines and
Installation” section on page 18.
When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4510R or Catalyst 4507R switch, all four
uplinks are active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default,
or two uplinks will be active in a nonredundant configuration. When using the Supervisor Engine V, slot
10 (the Flex-Slot) in the Catalyst 4510R switch supports the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module
(WS-X4302-GB) or the Access Gateway Module (WS-X4604-GWY).
Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port is used (in ROMMON mode only) to recover a switch software image
that has been corrupted or destroyed due to a network catastrophe. This port is not active while the switch
is operating normally.
Console Port
The Catalyst 4500 series Supervisor Engine V console port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. 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
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the
Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
Reset Button
The Reset button is used to restart the switch.
Note Use a paper clip or other small, pointed object to press the Reset button.
Active Indicates whether the uplink port is active.
Green The port is active.
Off The port is not active.
ACTIVE The LED to the right of the uplink ports is used to identify the
active supervisor in switches with two supervisors.
