Ports Description
PowerConnect 6024
Ports 1-16 are designated as 10/100/1000 ports, and ports 17-24 are designated as combo ports. The
port numbers are shown in the figure below.
A combo port is a single logical port with two physical connections — an RJ-45 connection and a
SFP connection. When a connector is inserted in the SFP port, the SFP port is active, unless a
Base-T port copper connector of the of the same number is inserted and has a link.
