3.1.1 Ethernet Ports

The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be both
half or full duplex at 100 Mbps and full duplex only at 1000 Mbps.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000
Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.

Ethernet cable.

DESCRIPTION
Connect these ports to a computer, a hub, an Ethernet switch or router.
Use Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ transceivers in these ports for fiber-optic

insert an SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) in the SFP+ slot.
Connect to a computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable for local configuration of the Switch.
Only connect this port to your computer (using an RS-232 cable) if you want to configure
the Switch using the command line interface (CLI) via the console port.
