Port Speeds
SFP ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or
4-Gbps. X2 ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 10-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. Table 6-8 lists the
possible port speeds.
To change the port transmission speed, do the following:
1. Select one or more 1/2/4-Gbps 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.
