MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port

The MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port is an Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. You can use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the management port to an external hub, switch, or router (see Figure 1).

Table 1 lists the connector pinouts and signal names for a 10/100/1000BASE-T management port (MDI) cable.

Note: The RJ-45 interface only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.
