The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid.
The Speed LED over the port label indicates a port speed of either 10/100
Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the top indicates packet activity
on that port.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a
standard Ethernet cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a
twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via
a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a
twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.
Figure 3-2. Switch connected to a port on a hub or switch using
either a straight or crossover cable–any standard Ethernet cable
is fine.
