Front Panel Ports
USB Port—The USB port connects the switch to a USB device so that you 
can save and restore the configuration files, firmware images, and 
SYSLOG files through the connected USB device.
RJ-45 Ethernet Ports—The RJ-45 Ethernet ports connect network devices, 
such as computers, printers, and access points, to the switch. 
Multigigabit Ethernet Ports—Highlighted in blue, these ports support 
speeds of 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2.5 Gbps, on Cat 5e cables. Much of the 
cabling deployed worldwide is limited to 1 Gbps at 100 meters. Cisco 
Multigigabit Ethernet enables speeds up to 2.5 Gbps on the same 
infrastructure without replacing a cable.
60-Watt PoE Ports—Highlighted in yellow, the 60-Watt PoE ports double 
the PoE power to 60W.
SFP Port (if present)—The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports are 
connection points for modules, so the switch can link to other switches. 
These ports are also commonly referred to as miniGigaBit Interface 
Converter (miniGBIC) ports. The term SFP is used in this guide.
• Some SFP interfaces are shared with one other RJ-45 port, called a 
combo port. When the SFP is active, the adjacent RJ-45 port is 
disabled. 
• The LEDs of the corresponding RJ-45 port flash green to respond to the 
SFP interface traffic.
