The following features are found in the Ethernet ports of the Switch 5500
10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They can operate
■
in half-duplex, full-duplex and auto-negotiation modes. They can negotiate with
other network devices to determine the operating mode and speed. Thus the
appropriate operating mode and speed is automatically configured and the system
configuration and management is greatly streamlined.
Gigabit SFP ports operate in 1000Mbps full duplex mode. The duplex mode can be
■
set to full (full-duplex) and auto (auto-negotiation) and its speed can be set to
1000 (1000Mbps) and auto (auto-negotiation).
