networkneeds.Theswitchprovides24GigabitEthernetSFP(SmallFormFactor
Pluggable)interfaceslotsforoptional802.3aecomplianthot‐swappableMini‐GBIC
interfaces.ThevariousversionsofhotswappableMini‐GBICsprovideyou
withthe
flexibilitytoinstallinterfacesthatsupport:
• 1000BASE‐TEthernetovercopperconnectionsfor10/100/1000Mbps
