Uplink Ports
Console Port Mode 2 Signaling and Pinouts
This section provides the signaling and pinouts for the console port in mode 2 (CONSOLE PORT MODE
switch in the out position). See
Table B-4 for the pinouts.
Uplink Ports
The Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, the Supervisor
Engine
720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and the Supervisor Engine 2T all have Ethernet uplink ports
available on the front panel. These Ethernet ports can be used to provide additional port capacity for a
fully configured switch or can reduce the need to use a chassis slot for a Gigabit Ethernet module or
10-Gigabit Ethernet module where only a few Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports are required.
Table B-5 lists the supervisor engine model and the number and type of uplink ports available.
