Cabling Copper Ports

140
Here are the guidelines to cabling the copper ports:
The cable specifications are in "10/100/1000Mbps Copper Ports"

on page 25 and "1/2.5/5/10Gbps Multi-Gigabit Copper Ports" on
page 27.
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.
Ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to

operate at 1000Mbps and higher speeds.
The ports support full-duplex only at 1000Mbps and higher speeds.

Do not attach cables to ports of static or LACP port trunks until

after configuring the trunks on the switch. Otherwise, the ports
might form network loops that can adversely affect network
performance.
