• If the output includes "Media type is twisted pair, Port hardware type is 1000_BASE_T," the port is
an RJ-45 copper port. For example, the following output shows that GigabitEthernet 2/0/5 is an
RJ-45 1000 BASE-T port.

Enabling active/standby mode for the network ports on MPUs
The LSQ1SRP2XB MPU provides Ethernet network ports for forwarding traffic. When the 7503, 7506,
7506-V, or 7510 switch has two LSQ1SRP2XB MPUs, the Ethernet network ports on the MPUs work in one
of the following modes:
• Concurrent mode—The network ports of both MPUs forward traffic concurrently. These ports can
still forward traffic when an active/standby switchover has occurred upon a software failure. If the
active/standby switchover is caused by a hardware failure, the network ports on the failed MPU
might not be able to correctly forward data. You can use this mode to increase network ports.
• Active/standby mode—Only the Ethernet network ports on the active MPU can forward data, and
the Ethernet network ports on the standby MPU function as backups. When an active/standby
switchover has occurred, the network ports on the previous active MPU goes down, and the network
ports on the previous standby MPU comes up to take over. You can connect the Ethernet network
ports on the two MPUs to upstream devices to increase availability.
NOTE:
If LSQ1SRP2XB MPUs are used, the switch creates one virtual LPU slot for each MPU slot, and the LPU slo
t
numbers are higher than the largest physical LPU slot number. To configure the Ethernet ports on one
MPU, you must access the virtual LPU for the MPU.
Configuration guidelines
• This feature is available only for the LSQ1SRP2XB MPUs.
