Answer
| Port | Description |
|---|---|
| Console port | Certain QSW managed switches are equipped with a console port (serial RS-232 port), which can be used specifically to access the command line interface (CLI) for diagnostic purposes. |
| Management (MGMT) port | The management port on the managed switch can be used exclusively to access the QSS interface. |
You can refer to the following table to distinguish between console and management ports in your QSW managed switch.
