Note -  The three Cluster I/O ports (0, 1, and GigE) are reserved for cluster interconnection only.

The ZS3-2 controller has the following ports:

  • Ethernet Ports - The ZS3-2 has four RJ-45 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network connectors, labeled NET 3, NET 2, NET 1, and NET 0 (left to right) on the rear panel. The ports operate at 100 Mbits/sec, 1000 Mbits/sec, or 10-Gbits/sec. Use these ports to connect the appliance to the network.

    Caution

    Caution  -  When disconnecting an RJ-45 cable from a cluster serial port (0 and 1), use extreme care not to damage the internal RJ-45 receptacle. To properly disconnect an RJ-45 cable from a cluster serial port, see Disconnecting an RJ-45 Cable.


  • Network Management Port - The network management connector (NET MGT) is an RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port and provides an alternate terminal interface to the SP console.

    image:Graphic showing the network management port

  • Serial Management Port - The serial management connector (SER MGT) is an RJ-45 port and provides a terminal connection to the service processor (SP) console.
