Uplink Ports

The supervisor engine provides two Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports that you can configure with any
combination of short-wave (SX), long-wave/long-haul (LX/LH), and extended reach (ZX) Gigabit
Interface Converters (GBICs). The two 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in

Note In a redundant configuration with two supervisor engines, the uplink ports on the redundant (standby)
supervisor engine are active and can be used for normal traffic like any other ports in the chassis.
