is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is appropriate for ports connected
to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation.
The ports must be set to the default setting of Auto-Negotiation to
operate at 1000Gbps.
The copper ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode
when operating at 10/100Mbps. However, if any of the copper
ports operate at 1000Mbps or higher, then the duplex mode is
always full-duplex.
Do not attach cables to ports of static or Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) port trunks until after you configure the trunks on
the switch. Otherwise, the ports will form network loops that can
adversely affect network performance.
Caution
Disable PoE on ports before connecting or disconnecting copper
cables to prevent damaging the switch. Disconnecting Ethernet
copper network cables while the switch is providing power to
powered devices (PDs) can damage the switch. E131
