Step 2
Connect the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device.
Note The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by
default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and
configures the interfaces. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for
connections to a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port on the switch module, regardless of the type of
connected device.
SFP Module Slots
The switch module provides two 100/1000 Mb/s or Gigabit Ethernet SFP module slots ports: one
standard Gigabit SFP module slot in the center (labeled GE0/2) and one SFP module slot for the
dual-purpose port on the bottom (labeled GE0/1).
To connect to an SFP module slot:
Step 1 Grasp the SFP module on the sides, and insert it into the SFP module slot port until you feel the
connector snap into place.
Caution Make sure that SFP module is right side up before attempting to insert the SFP module into the slot.
