Connecting A Transceiver To The Switch Or Switch Stack; Installing Transceivers - Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series Manual

Installing ERS 3600 in an equipment rack
Required cable
Console Port
Shared SFP Transceiver Ports
USB Ports
Important:
In Autonegotiation mode, the switches automatically provide the proper MDI/MDI-X connection
on the RJ-45 ports; thereby eliminating the need for crossover cables. When Autonegotiation is
disabled on 10/100 ports, they are configured as an MDI-X connection.
