Interface Modules Chapter 1 Product Overview Interface Modules The nonremovable interface module is located above slot 1 (see Figure 1-7) and is identical for all Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches. It provides the following local and remote management interfaces: • RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) console port with an RJ-45 connection that you can use to: - Configure the switch from the CLI. - Monitor network statistics and errors. - Configure SNMP agent parameters. • MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connection that provides network management capabilities. • RS-232 COM1 port with a DB-9 connector that can be attached to a modem.

Note The system clocks in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series have a field-measured mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 3.2 million hours or 365 years. In the event of a clock module failure, the system generates an error message and a switchover from one clock module to the other occurs, causing the system to reset automatically. 1-10 Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide OL-16188-01
