Warning!
risk of eye injury, do not stare into the interface or otherwise direct the laser beam into your
eye.

Connecting to a copper gigabit device (2380 only)

Insert a Cat-5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector. The cable can use straight-through or crossover
signalling.
1
Insert the Cat-5 cable into the port's RJ-45 (copper) interface.
2
Access the command-line interface (CLI) on the switch, use the enable command to enter
configuration mode, and use the following command to set the active interface on the port to
RJ-45 (copper):
set port media-type port-list rj45
3
Observe the lower LED to the left of the port:
• If the LED is solid green, the 1000-Mbps link is operational.
• If the LED is blinking green, traffic is active on the 1000-Mbps link.
• If the LED is unlit, the link is not operational. Check the cable and verify that the device at
the other end of the link is operational.

Connecting to a fiber gigabit device (2380)

You must install a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) to connect a 2380 to 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX
cable. Figure 14 shows how to install a GBIC.
you perform the procedures. (For cable requirements, see
