Figure 6: C4000 Power Supply
■ Console management port—Each model has one RS-232 port that accepts a
DB-9 (female) connector for direct CLI access from a console terminal.
■ USB port—Each model has two ports that can be used for memory storage
devices.
■ Ethernet interfaces—Each model has two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports
(ETH0 and ETH1) that accept an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing an out-of-band
connection for LAN access through a Telnet session, SSH, or SNMP. ETH0 provides
access from a network that is behind a firewall. ETH1 provides access for
applications on an external network, such as the Internet.
■ Generic interfaces—Each model has two generic ports (ETH2 and ETH3) that
enable you to use standard connectors, such as small form-factor pluggable
transceivers (SFPs), to create fiber-optic or Gigabit Ethernet connections and
provide additional LAN connectivity.
■ Status LEDs—Each model has LEDs that provide information about hard drive,
power supply, and interface status.
■ USB storage device—Contains the latest system software, including the operating
system for the C-series platform. The device is read-only and should be used to
recover from a major software failure. See the SRC Release Notes for more
information about recovering from a software failure.
■ Rack-mount and rail kit.
Network Management Tools
You can use different management tools to configure the system to meet the specific
networking requirements.
CLI Management
The command-line interface (CLI) provides fully developed and automated
configuration and status functionality through a local RS-232 port, Telnet, or SSH
over any reachable network. For a full discussion of the CLI, see the SRC–PE CLI User
Guide.
