Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3
When you connect through a web browser the switch provides HTTP management
access with a graphical user interface.
The information provided by SNMP can be displayed by an appropriately
configured management application that is able to use SNMP.
1.2 Description of Hardware
The SSC includes the switch board, the SC, cooling fans, as well as midplane and
rear panel connectors. The SC provides management access to the server chassis and
switch board. The SC also drives the system indicators, duplicate copies of which are
located on the front and rear of the Sun Fire B1600 blade system chassis.
1.2.1 Ethernet Ports
1.2.1.1 Up-link Ports
Eight external RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of speed, duplex
mode, and flow control. Each port can operate at 10 Mbit/sec, 100 Mbit/sec, and
1000 Mbit/sec,
full- and half-duplex, and control the data stream to prevent buffers
from overflowing.
The up-link ports can be connected to other IEEE 802.3ab
1000BASE-T compliant devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) away using Category 5 twisted-
pair cable. These ports also feature automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all connections. The up-link ports are named NETP0 to
NETP7 in the configuration interface.
Note – When using auto-negotiation, the speed, transmission mode, and flow
control can be automatically set if this feature is also supported by the connected
device. Otherwise, these settings can be manually configured for any connection.
Note – Autonegotiation must be enabled for automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration.
