Chapter 8: Cabling the Networking Ports
Cabling Twisted Pair Ports
124
This section applies to the 1/10Gbps twisted pair ports on AT-XEM2-12XT
Line Cards and 1/2.5/5/10Gbps ports on AT-XEM2-12XTm Line Cards.
Here are the cabling guidelines:
The cable specifications for AT-XEM2-12XT and AT-XEM2-12XTm
Line Cards are listed in Table 8 on page 30 and Table 10 on
page 32, respectively.
The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and
the tabs should lock the connectors into place.
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This
setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that
also support Auto-Negotiation.
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to
operate at 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps.
The ports support full-duplex only.
Do not attach cables to ports of static or LACP port trunks until you
have configure the trunks on the switch. Otherwise, the ports will
form network loops that can adversely affect network performance.
