I recently got my hands on a Cisco Catalyst 3650 from a garage sale for $25. I thought it was neat and just wanted to mess around with it. I don’t know anything about networking. I noticed that it has a MGMT port and a console port. What’s the difference?

Here’s an pic if I’m not clear enough.

Thanks in advance!

    Management port is to configure the device remotely, on another network

    Console port is to do it physically Altough i have seen some networks setup to also use it remotely
