A 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet electrical port sends and receives service data at
10/100/1000 Mbit/s, and must use network cables. Table 3-58 describes the attributes of a
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet electrical port.

1000BASE-X port
When a 1000BASE-X port uses a GE optical module, it can only transmit and receive data at
1000 Mbit/s and does not support the 100 Mbit/s transmission speed. When a 1000BASE-X
port uses a GE copper module, it can transmit and receive data at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or
1000 Mbit/s. Table 3-59 describes the attributes of a 1000BASE-X Ethernet optical port.

Combo port
A combo port refers to a pair of ports consisting of an optical Ethernet port and an electrical
Ethernet port on the panel. Each combo port matches only one internal forwarding port. A
combo port can be configured as an electrical port or an optical port, but only one port can be
active at a time. When one port is active, the other port is shut down.
