Interface Card Operating Mode; Connecting Cables To The Copper Ports On The Interface Cards - HP flexnetwork 5510 hi series Installation Manual

Interface card operating mode

On the HPE 5510 48G 4SFP+ HI and HPE 5510 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ HI switches, you can use the
port-configuration-mode command to configure one of the following operating modes for the
LSWM2QP2P interface card. This command is used when two QSFP+ ports on the interface card
are split into eight SFP+ ports.
•
0—All ports on the interface card are not available.
•
1—Not supported.
•
2—Interfaces GigabitEthernet 1/0/41 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/48 on the front panel are not
available.
The operating mode configuration takes effect only after you reboot the switch. For more information
about the interface card operating modes, see HPE 5510 HI Switch Series Layer 2—LAN Switching
Command Reference.

Connecting cables to the copper ports on the interface cards

The LSWM2XGT2PM interface cards provide copper ports. To connect cables to the copper ports on
the LSWM2XGT2PM interface cards, follow these guidelines:
•
Use Category-6A or above cables and connectors. The max transmission distance varies by
cable type:
Category-6 UTP—55 m (180.45 ft).
Category-6 STP—100 m (328.084 ft), no interference.
Category-6 SFTP—100 m (328.084 ft).
Category-6A and above twisted pair—100 m (328.084 ft).
•
Do not bundle cables in their first 20 m (65.62 ft).
•
Separate power cords and twisted pair cables at and around the distribution frame.
•
For ports adjacent to one another on the device, the peer ports on the distribution frame is
preferably not adjacent, for example:
If the device connects to one distribution frame, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on the
distribution frame and port 2 on the device to port 3 on the distribution frame.
If the device connects to two distribution frames, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on
distribution frame 1 and port 2 on the device to port 1 on distribution frame 2.
•
Keep the device and twisted pair cables away from the interference source, such as a two-way
radio and a high-power variable-frequency drive.
