This section describes the hardware components.
There are 48 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports using RJ-45 interfaces and four
1000BASE-X Ethernet ports using SFP interfaces. These SFP ports share MAC
addresses with the last four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. The interface
configuration mode command media-type sfp | rj45 can be used to configure the
media type for these ports in the switch software and to determine whether the
SFP connector or the RJ-45 connector is used. The default is SFP.
There are 48 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports using RJ-45 interfaces and two
10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports using X2 interfaces.
There are 28 1000BASE-X Ethernet ports using SFP interfaces.
A console serial port (RJ-45) provides for switch management using standard
console equipment. (See
Appendix A, "Specifications,"
The Management port on the front panel is only operational when the switch is in
rommon mode. When in use, it offers the same TCP/IP based management
services available using inband access (Telnet, SNMP, etc.). IP address
configuration using BOOTP is supported on the Management port; it also
supports image download to the switch.
