Network Port Connections
The network ports, labeled Eth 1, 2 & 3, are located on the front right of the V-
Switch 3000. Use the 1Gb Ethernet ports to connect to the network or directly
to the host station.
Each network port has both a fiber optic and copper connector but only one
cable, either fiber optic or copper, can be connected to each port. To connect a
fiber-optic cable you need a Small Form Factor Package (SFP) optical
transceiver to couple to the fiber optic cable and insert into the network SFP
port. Please refer to Figure 3-6.
