Mini-GBIC information
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a supported HP
mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) for fiber-optic connection. By default, the RJ-45
connectors are enabled.
The optional mini-GBICs add support for these speeds and technologies:
