FIGURE 3 FGS648P and FGS648P-POE Devices
FGS648P and FGS648P-POE models contain the following ports:
• 48 10/100/1000 copper ports that support 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors
• Four 100/1000 Gigabit Fiber uplink ports (1F – 4F) for mini-GBIC (SFP) MSA-compliant optical
transceivers
Copper ports 1 – 4 and fiber ports 1F – 4F are combination ports, meaning either the copper
port or its corresponding fiber port can be active, but they cannot both be active at the same
time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports, or all four copper, or all four fiber
ports, as needed. For more information, refer to “Combination ports” on page 9.
• Two 10 Gbps ports (optional). Refer to “10 Gbps ports” on page 9.
Control features
All FGS front panels have the following control features:
• Serial management interface (the port labeled Console)
• Reset button
• 10/100/1000 ports with RJ-45 copper connectors
• 100/1000 ports with mini-GBIC slots for SFP MSA-compliant fiber transceivers
• FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE models have one 10-Gigabit Ethernet port for XFP MSA
compliant fiber connectors
• Optionally, two10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for XFP MSA-compliant fiber connectors
• LEDs for ports, power supplies, and stacking
The following illustrations show the front panels of the FGS models.
