1.2. Interfaces and Ports
This section is an overview of the SG4500 Series product's external design.
Note: Usage of the terms "interface" and "port"
The terms Ethernet interface and Ethernet port are often used interchangeably. In this
document, interface is used for Ethernet connections and port is used for non-Ethernet
connections.
Figure 1.2. Front View of the Clavister SG4500 Series.
The SG4500 Series features a number of connection ports. On the far right is the RS-232 console
port and an LED display screen. To the left of these are a set of 10 Ethernet interfaces.
Each Ethernet interface has equal operational capacity and corresponds to a logical interface in
the CorePlus software configuration. Going from left to right, the Ethernet interfaces are:
• A set of 4 interfaces consisting of:
i. 2 x Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) Ethernet interfaces with logical CorePlus
interface names xsfp1 and xsfp2. These are for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links only.
ii. 2 x Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Ethernet interfaces with logical CorePlus interface
names sfp1 and sfp2. These are for 1 Gigabit Ethernet links only.
On the right of these interfaces is a vertical line of 4 LEDs which show the status for the
interfaces. These LEDs are illuminated orange when a link is established.
•6 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with logical interface names ge1 to ge6. These
connections are capable of link speed auto-negotiation and can therefore operate with
10Base-T, 100Base-Tx, or 1000Base-T.
Chapter 1: Product Overview
9
All ge interfaces support Automatic MDI-X and do not require a crossover cable for direct
connection from another computer.
Status lights are located at the top-right and top-left of the ge interfaces. The top-left light
flashes green to indicate data traffic. The top-right light shows the link speed and has the
following states:
• Not lit (dark) if the link is 10 Mb.
• Green if the link is 100 Mb.
• Yellow if the link is 1 Gb.
USB Ports
Next to the RS-232 port are 2 USB ports. These ports are not used with the current version of
CorePlus. The ports are intended for use with features planned for future CorePlus versions and
are provided so that no hardware upgrade will be required in order to make use of those features
after a software upgrade.
