Port Description
10/100/1000BASE-T port
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 3-10 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 3-11 describes the attributes of a 1000BASE-X Ethernet optical port.

Console port
The console port is connected to a console for on-site configuration. The port must use a
console cable. The console port is used when a switch is powered on for the first time. For
details about the attributes of a console port, see Table 3-12.
