The ICX 6430-C12 device includes the following management interfaces, and a reset button on the front panel of the device:
•Console management interface (RJ-45 serial port)
•Out-of-band management interface (RJ-45 port)
•Reset button
FIGURE 1 Management interfaces on an ICX 6430-C12 device
1.Console port
2.Slot 1 (10/100/1000 Mbps ports)
3.Slot 2 (Copper uplink ports)
Console management interface
The console management interface is an RJ-45 serial port that allows you to congure and manage the device using a third-party
terminal emulation application from a directly connected PC.
Out-of-band management interface
The out-of-band management interface is an RJ-45 port that allows you to
The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supplies o and on or using the CLI. When the reset button
is pressed, the system resets and the software is reloaded. The button is directly below the power LED on the left of the front panel.
Network interfaces for an ICX-6430-C device
An ICX 6430-C device contains the following interfaces:
•12 1-GbE ports with RJ-45 copper connectors (Slot 1, Ports 1-12)
–Ports 1- 4 are dedicated PoE/PoE+ ports.
Standard 802.3at PoE+ ports support up to 30W per port.
Standard 802.3af PoE ports support up to 15.4W per port.
Total PoE power capacity is 68W.
Some possible PoE/PoE+ conguration combinations include:
›2 standard PoE ports supporting full capacity (15.4W x 2 = 30.8W)
1 standard PoE+port supporting full capacity (30W)
1 PoE or PoE+ port supporting partial capacity, no greater than 7W (7W)
Total PoE/PoE+ power: 67.8W
›2 standard PoE+ ports supporting full capacity (30W x 2 = 60W)
1 PoE or PoE+ port supporting partial capacity, no greater than 7W (7W)
Total PoE/PoE+ power: 67W
›4 standard PoE ports supporting full capacity (15.4W x 4 = 62W)
The following table lists the slot designations for an ICX 6430-C device. Refer to the “Network and management interfaces” section for
the location of slots 1- 3 on the front panel of an ICX 6430-C device.
TABLE 1 Slot designations for an ICX 6430-C device
An ICX t6430-C device provides 12 RJ-45 ports that reside on Slot 1 of the device. The 12 RJ-45 ports operate at 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other devices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to
use straight-through cables for switch-to-switch connections.
Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)
can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of the port can be congured manually.
100 Mbps/1 GbE uplink ports
An ICX 6430-C device provides four independent 100Mbps/1GbE uplink ports.
100 Mbps/1 GbE RJ-45 ports C1 and C2, residing on slot 2 of the device, can be used as uplink ports or additional network
connections.
Additionally, an ICX 6430-C device contains two 1100 Mbps/1 GbE small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports F1 and F2). These
ports reside on slot 3 of the switch and can be used as uplink ports. The SFP ports support 100 Mbps/1 GbE port speeds.
For information about supported SFP transceivers, refer to the Brocade website.
Port, system, and power status LEDs
An ICX 6430-C device include LEDs that indicate the status of device components:
•Port status LEDs on page 13
•System status LEDs on page 14 (including power status LEDs)
•Network connection status LEDs on page 15
