Network and management interfaces

Each device includes the following management interfaces.

  • Console management interface (mini-USB port)
  • Out-of-band management interface (RJ-45 port)

The ports are located on the front panels of the devices. The following figure shows an example of a 48-port device.

Network and management interfaces on a 48-port model

  1. Out-of-band management port (RJ-45)
  2. Console port (mini-USB)
  3. Slot 1 (10/100/1000 Mbps ports - RJ-45)
  4. Slot 2 (SFP+ uplink or stacking ports)
  5. Reset button - not a management interface, shown for reference only.

    You can press the reset button to reboot the switch and reload the software without turning off the power supply.

    Note: The reset button on the ICX 7250 cannot be used for a factory reset. If you want to perform a factory reset, you must use the CLI, as described in Performing the Factory Reset from the CLI.

  6. USB port

Note: 24-port devices have similar front panels. For the ICX 7250-24G, the slot 2 ports are SFP ports.
