NOTE
The 802.3ab standard calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000BaseT ports. Consequently, a
crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well.
100Base-TX support on 1000Base-TX SFP modules
You can configure a 1000Base-TX SFP (part number E1MG-TX) to operate at a speed of 100 Mbps. To enable support, you must enter
the CLI command 100-tx at the Interface level of the CLI. For CLI command details, refer to the section "Enabling and Disabling Support
for 100Base-TX" in the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
NOTE
This module requires a Cat5 cable and uses an RJ45 connector. Hotswap is supported for this module when it is configured in
100M mode.
