Connecting An Ethernet Cable; Connecting A Fiber Cable; Transceiver Module Overview - HP HSR6800 Installation Manual

Connecting an Ethernet cable

1. Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) or the
management Ethernet port to be connected on the router and the other end of the cable into the
Ethernet port of the peer device. The 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports of the router support
MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are connected to the network through category-5 or above twisted
pairs that are equipped with RJ-45 connectors.
2. Examine the status LED of the Ethernet ports. For more information about the LED status, see
"Appendix B

Connecting a fiber cable

Transceiver module overview

When you use a fiber port, you need an SFP, XFP, or SFP+ transceiver module and a fiber cable with an
LC connector. For the compatibility between the cards and transceiver modules, see HP HSR6800
Routers Interface Module Guide.
