Port Speeds

SFP ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, or
8-Gbps. XPAK ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 10-Gbps or
20-Gbps. All ports can be configured for either a fixed transmission speed or to
sense (auto-detect) the transmission speed of the device to which it is connected.
To display the speed of each port, open the View menu and select View Port
Speeds.
To change the port transmission speed, do the following:
1. Select one or more SFP ports in the faceplate display.
2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties to open the Port Properties
dialog.
3. Select the Port Speed option from the drop-down list.
4. Click the OK button to write the new port speed to the switch.
