The following figure shows the front panel of the FESX624. The FESX624E-PREM6 looks similar to the
FESX624, except for the model number on the front of the device.

FESX424HF, FESX624HF, and FESX624HFE-PREM6
The FESX424HF, FESX624HF, and FESX624HFE-PREM6 have the following ports:
• 20 100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports for mini-GBIC optical transceivers (also called Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA)-compliant optical transceivers).
• Four combination Gigabit Copper/Fiber uplink ports:
• The copper ports support 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors.
• The fiber ports support 100/1000 SFPs.
• IPv4 (FESX4) devices optionally support one or two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for 10-Gigabit Small
Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceivers
• IPv6 (FESX6) devices optionally support two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for 10-Gigabit Small Form
Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceivers
Note that one port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. For example, you can use
either copper port 2 or fiber port 2, but not both at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper
ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed. For more information, see “Combination Ports” on page 2-12.
The following figure shows the front panel of the FESX424HF.
