Ports and Connectors

Network Ports (SFP Ports)

The 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP NIM module support 1-Gbps SFP module. The 4x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ NIM module supports 10-Gbps SFP+ module.

Table 1 provides the pinout information for the NIM SFP/SFP+ port connector. The SFP/SFP+ ports comply with the SFP/SFP+ MSA standards.

Network Port LEDs

Each network port on the vEdge 5000 router has two LEDs—the activity LED and the link LED. See Figures 1 through 3.

Figure 1: LEDs on the 8x1GE Copper Rj45 NIM

Figure 2: LEDs on the Network Ports on an 8x1GE SFP NIM

Figure 3: LEDs on the Network Ports on a 4x10GE SFP+ NIM

Table 2 describes the Activity LED on the network ports.

**Table 2: Activity LED on Network Ports**
Color	State & Description
Amber	Blinking—There is link activity. Off—There is no link activity.

Table 3 describes the Link LED on the network ports.

**Table 3: Link LED on Network Ports**
NIM Type	Color	State & Description
8x1-Gigabit Ethernet Copper Rj45 NIM	Amber Green Off	Link is up at the rate of 1,000 Mbps. Link is up at the rate of 100 Mbps. Link is down or is up at the rate of 10 Mbps.
8x1GE SFP NIM	Amber Off	Link is up at the rate of 1,000 Mbps. Link is down.
4x10GE SFP+ NIM	Green Off	Link is up at the rate of 10 Gbps. Link is down.

Management Port

The management port on a vEdge 5000 router uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a management device for out-of-band management.

The management port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support a 10/100/1000Base-T connection. The two LEDs on the port indicate link/activity on the port and the administrative status of the port. See Management Port LEDs below.

Table 4 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 connector for the management port.

**Table 4: Management Port Connector Pinout Information**
Pin	Signal	Description
1	TRP1+	Transmit/receive data pair 1
2	TRP1-	Transmit/receive data pair 1
3	TRP2+	Transmit/receive data pair 2
4	TRP3+	Transmit/receive data pair 3
5	TRP3-	Transmit/receive data pair 3
6	TRP2-	Transmit/receive data pair 2
7	TRP4+	Transmit/receive data pair 4
8	TRP4-	Transmit/receive data pair 4

Management Port LEDs

The management port on the vEdge 5000 router has two LEDs that indicate link/activity and port status. See Figure 4.

Figure 4: LEDs on the Management Port on a vEdge 5000 Router

Table 5 describes the LEDs on the management port.

**Table 5: LEDs on the Management Port on a vEdge 5000 Router**
LED	Color	State and Description
Activity	Amber	Blinking—There is link activity. Off—There is no link activity.
Link	Amber Green Off	Link is up at the rate of 1,000 Mbps. Link is up at the rate of 100 Mbps. Link is down or is up at the rate of 10 Mbps.

Console Port

The console port on a vEdge 5000 router is accessible via the following external interface:

An RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. See Figure 5.

Figure 5: RJ-45 Connector

The default baud rate for the console port is 115,200 baud.

Table 6 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console port connector.

**Table 6: RJ-45 Console Port Connector Pinout Information for a vEdge 5000 Router**
Pin	Signal	Description
1	RTS Output	Request to send
2	NC	No connect
3	TxD Output	Transmit data
4	Signal Ground	Signal ground
5	Signal Ground	Signal ground
6	RxD Input	Receive data
7	NC	No connect
8	CTS Input	Clear to send

RJ-45-to-DB-9 Serial Port Adapter Pinout

The console port on a vEdge 5000 router is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a management device such as a PC or a laptop. If your PC or laptop does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you want to connect your PC or laptop to a vEdge 5000 router, use a combination of the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female adapter along with a USB-to-DB-9 male adapter. See Figure 6.

Table 7 provides the wiring and pinout information for the RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial port adapter cable.

**Table 7: RJ-45-to-DB-9 Serial Port Adapter Cable Pinout Information for a vEdge 5000 Router**
RJ-45 Pin	Signal	DB9 Pin	Signal
1	RTS	8	CTS
3	TXD	2	RXD
4	GND	5	GND
6	RXD	3	TXD
8	CTS	7	RTS
