ETH management port
You can connect a switch to a configuration terminal or network management workstation through the ETH management port to configure the switch locally or remotely. The port must use an Ethernet cable. You can choose to download the software package through the ETH management port in the BootLoad menu. File transfer through the ETH management port is faster than transfer through the console port. Table 4-1320 describes the attributes of an ETH management port.
Table 4-1320 Attributes of an ETH management port
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector type | RJ45 |
| Standards compliance | IEEE802.3 |
| Working Mode | 10/100 Mbit/s auto-sensing |
| Maximum transmission distance | 100 mIn V200R012C00 and later versions, you can log in to the switch that contains the ETH management port for the first time through the ETH port. For details, see "First Login to a Switch" in the Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration. If you have logged in to the switch for the first time by pressing and holding the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration, the default configuration on the ETH port will be cleared. In this case, you cannot log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. You are advised to log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. |
USB port
The USB port can have a USB flash drive connected to upgrade the switch, or transfer configuration files or other files. The USB port can only connect to a USB flash drive that complies with USB 2.0.
USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.
Indicator Description
The S5731-S24P4X has the same types of indicators as the S5731-S48P4X. For details, see Indicator Description.
Power Supply Configuration
The switch is a PoE switch and supports two power module slots, each of which can have a 1000 W PoE or 600 W PoE power module installed. Pluggable AC and DC PoE power modules can be used together in the same switch.
