10/100BASE-T RJ-45 Ports
The switch contains 24 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-T
copper links to other devices. For more information, see “How to Connect to
Twisted-Pair Copper Ports” on page 34.
Combination SFP/RJ-45 Ports
The switch contains two combo ports made up of two Small Form Factor Pluggable
( SFP) transceiver slots that are each logically connected with one of two 1000BASE-
T RJ-45 ports. At any one time, a “combo” port can only have one of the pair, the SFP
slot or the RJ-45 port, enabled. For more information on connecting the SFP ports,
see “How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports” on page 38.
Console Port
The RJ-45 connector on the front panel far right side that is labeled “Console”
provides an out-of-band serial connection to a terminal or a PC running terminal
emulation software. The port can be used for performing switch monitoring and
configuration. For more information, see “How to Connect to the Console Port” on
page 43.
