Nortel Networks 2500 Series Switch User Manual


 
26 Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series hardware
The Console port is a DB-9, RS-232-D male serial port connector. You can
use this connector to connect a management station, console, or terminal to
the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series by using a straight-through DB-9
to DB-9 standard serial port cable. You must use a VT100/ANSI-compatible
terminal (for cursor control and to activate cursor and functions keys) to
use the Console port.
The default settings of the Console port are:
9600 baud with eight data bits
one stop bit
no parity as the communications format
flow control set to disabled
Gigabit Interface Converter
Small Form Factor Pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters are
hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed for
use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with fiber
optic networks.
SFP GBIC Support on the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are hot-swappable
input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel
products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other Gigabit Ethernet
ports over various media types.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series supports the following SFPs:
1000Base-SX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: LC)
1000Base-SX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: MT-RJ)
1000Base-LX SFP GBIC (mini-GBIC, connector type: LC)
CWDM SFPs
For more information about the SFP GBICs see Installing Gigabit Interface
Converters, SFPs, and CWDM SFP Gigabit Interface Converters (312865).
Port connectors
The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series uses 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connectors.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series uses autosensing ports
designed to operate at 10 Mb/s (megabits per second) or at 100 Mb/s,
depending on the connecting device. These ports support the IEEE 802.3u
autonegotiation standard, which means that when a port is connected
to another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, the two
devices negotiate the best speed and duplex mode.
