Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)
can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of the port can be congured manually.
100 Mbps/1 GbE uplink ports
An ICX 6430-C device provides four independent 100Mbps/1GbE uplink ports.
100 Mbps/1 GbE RJ-45 ports C1 and C2, residing on slot 2 of the device, can be used as uplink ports or additional network
connections.
Additionally, an ICX 6430-C device contains two 1100 Mbps/1 GbE small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports F1 and F2). These
ports reside on slot 3 of the switch and can be used as uplink ports. The SFP ports support 100 Mbps/1 GbE port speeds.
For information about supported SFP transceivers, refer to the Brocade website.
Port, system, and power status LEDs
An ICX 6430-C device include LEDs that indicate the status of device components:
• Port status LEDs on page 13
• System status LEDs on page 14 (including power status LEDs)
• Network connection status LEDs on page 15
