In normal usage (and typical implementations) there is no need to enable/disable ports for
Link Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations
possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol,
no aggregations will be formed and the DFE modules will function normally (that is,
Spanning Tree will block redundant paths).
For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation
function, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide.
10BASE-T Network
When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the fixed front panel ports of the
4G4202‐60 or 4G4282‐41, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network
requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T. Refer to the Cabling Guide for
details.
100BASE-TX Network
The fixed front panel ports of the 4G4202‐60 and 4G4282‐41 provide a connection that
supports Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment
must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the
devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
1000BASE-T Network
The 4G4202‐60 and 4G4282‐41 support 10/100/1000 Mbps via fixed RJ45 front panel
connectors. These connections support copper wire connections that can operate up to
1000 Mbps. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐
2002 network requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed.

Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3
cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3
or Category 5 cabling can be used. Refer to
information about 100BASE-TX networks and cabling.
Note: The fixed ports of the module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance
between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation. The module is capable of operating at
10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and can automatically sense the port speed of the other device and
adjust its speed accordingly.
Note: The fixed ports of each module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance
between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation and can automatically sense
the port speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.
