A Type A USB console port on the front panel of the Extreme 9920 connects the chassis to a laptop or PC for local management functions. A Mini-B USB console serial port on the front panel can also be used for management functions. If the USB Type A host port is connected, it is selected over the Mini-USB port, and system does not accept any input from the Mini-USB port. A DB9 adapter is required to convert from serial to DB9. There is also an additional adapter that can be used with the cable to convert to RJ-45.
An Ethernet management port can also connect the system to an out of band management network for administration. Alternatively, an Ethernet cable can connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the chassis configuration. The Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
There is also a Type A USB 2.0 port that can host removable devices like flash drives.
