Important:
In Autonegotiation mode, the Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series 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.

Connecting a transceiver to the switch or switch stack

The following sections describe small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Ethernet
Routing Switch 5000 Series. For installation and removal procedures, see Installing
Transceivers and Optical Components on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series,
NN47200–302.
Understanding transceiver connections
The following sections describe transceiver connections.
Small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers interface a device motherboard to a fiber optic
or unshielded twisted pair network cable. The SFPs described in this section provide Ethernet
at 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s).
Select the appropriate transceiver to provide the required reach. SFPs are available for cable
distances of up to 100 meters (m), 550 m, 10 kilometers (km), 40 km, 70 km, and 120 km. Any
reach over 100 m requires fiber optic cable.
SFPs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Avaya
products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other Gigabit Ethernet ports over various
media types.
