Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.
Step 2
Observe the port status LED.
Step 3
The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process
takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might
be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See
solutions to cabling problems.
If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
Step 4
Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
You can configure the dual-purpose port as either a 10/100/1000 port or as an SFP module port. For a
detailed description of this port, see the
Connect an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot,
Step 1
and connect a cable to the SFP module port, as shown in
Only one port can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the SFP module port has priority. You
cannot configure the priority setting.
