Product Overview
Hardware features
Combination ports
One port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. For example, you can use either copper port 2 or fiber port 2,
but not both at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence over the copper
connectors. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device selects the fiber or copper connector based on link
availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device selects the copper media.
10-Gbps ports
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet module on a FastIron X Series compact switch is optional. If one is installed on your device, it has either a one-
or two-port optical interface for XFP MSA-compliant 10GBase-LR, 10GBase-SR, or 10GBase-ER – fiber cabling. If your device does
not include a 10-GbE module, you can optionally install one. Refer to
For more details, follow these pointers:
•
IPv6 (FESX6) devices optionally support two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable
(XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceivers
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports use 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant transceivers.
NOTE
The IPv6 10-GbE modules are supported in IPv6 compact switches only. Likewise, the IPv4 10-GbE modules are supported in
IPv4 compact switches only.
LEDs for FastIron X Series ports
The 10/100/1000 Mbps copper and fiber ports, and the 10-Gbps fiber ports on the FastIron X Series compact switches provide status
information using the LEDs listed in
•
The copper ports use square LEDs located in the upper right and left corners of the upper Gigabit copper connector. The LEDs
are combined Lnk or Act LEDs. The LED on the left side is for the upper copper connector. The LED on the right side is for the
lower copper connector.
•
The Gigabit fiber connectors use the Lnk and Act LEDs located beneath the mini-GBIC slots for the fiber ports.
•
The 10-Gbps fiber connectors use the LEDs located next to the fiber ports.
LEDs for POE ports
The fiber and copper ports on the FESX424-POE provide status information using the LEDs listed in
•
The 10/100/1000 copper ports (1 – 24) use the LEDs located on the top left and top right of the copper connectors. The
LEDs are combined Link or Activity (Lnk or Act) LEDs. The LED on the left side is for the upper fiber connector. The LED on the
right side is for the lower fiber connector.
•
The 10/100/1000 fiber ports (1F – 4F) use the LEDs located beneath the fiber connectors. The LED on the left side is the Lnk
LED, and the LED on the right side is the Act LED.
•
The POE ports (1 – 24) use the round LEDs located beneath the copper ports. The first (left-most) LED is for port 1, the second
LED is for port 2, the third LED is for port 3, etc.
