Caution
With two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards installed, the
switching fabric circuitry on each line card is shared. When you
press the RESET button, the Ethernet network traffic flow through
the switch is limited to 200 Gbps for up to two minutes. This is the
time required for the inactive AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card to
reboot and for its switching fabric circuitry to become available again
for switching network traffic.

Note
The RESET switch is specifically provided for resetting the
AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card. If you want to swap the
controller function between the active and standby AT-SBx31CFC
Fabric Control Cards, Allied Telesis recommends that you use the
SWAP commands provided in the Switchblade x3112 Management
Software. Refer the to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade®
x3100 Series Switches on the ATI web site for specific information.

Management
Port
The Network Management (NET MGMT) port is a standard Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet port. See Figure 8. This port provides for
remote management of the SwitchBlade x3112 Switch when you connect
it to a device on your network. If it is available in the chassis, you can
connect it directly to one of the copper ports on an Ethernet line card.

Figure 8 NET MGMT and CONSOLE Ports
The NET MGMT port is a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and can operate
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable
requirements for this port can be found in the table “Cable Requirements
for the 10/100/1000Base-T Management Port” on page 104. For the port
