NOTE: • The media dependent interface (MDI) standard is typically used on the Ethernet port of network adapters. The media dependent interface crossover (MDI-X) standard is typically used on hubs or LAN switches. • For a combo interface, you can use either the copper port or the fiber port. To switch between the copper and fiber ports, use the combo enable { copper | fiber } command in interface view.
• If you press the RESET button when only one MPU is equipped, the whole system will be reset. • To perform an active/standby switchover when two MPUs are equipped, press the RESET button on the active MPU. The system automatically switches the services to the standby MPU, without interrupting the ongoing services.
Flexible interface platform modules IMPORTANT: Use transceiver modules for the service modules provided by H3C only. The router might be incompatible with transceiver modules from other vendors. The system generates an alarm when a transceiver module from another vendor is installed.
