1000BASE-X SFP Ports
SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet 
long-wave (LX), long-haul (LH70) and copper (T) SFP Transceivers in any 
combination. This offers you the flexibility of using SFP transceivers to 
provide connectivity between the Switch and remote 1000 Mbps 
workgroups or to create a high capacity aggregated link backbone 
connection.
The default state for these ports is auto-negotiation enabled, where the 
speed, duplex and flow control modes are negotiated. As the speed and 
duplex modes are fixed by the media type, only the flow control is 
negotiated with the link partner. Alternatively, auto-negotiation can be 
disabled (except 1000BASE-T which auto-negotiation is mandatory) and 
the flow control setting can be manually configured.
Console Port
The console port allows you to connect a terminal and perform remote or 
local out-of-band management. As the console port on the Switch is an 
RJ-45 port, you will need to connect an RJ-45 to DB9 converter cable to a 
standard null modem cable in order to connect a terminal.
Unit Status Display
The Status Display is a seven segment display visible on the front of the 
Switch. The Status Display indicates switch status conditions such as the 
unit number, POST test ID, and software upgrade information. In the 
unlikely event of a hardware fault occurring, the Status Display may be 
used to help diagnose the problem. For information on using the Status 
Display for problem solving, see “Solving Problems Indicated by LEDs” on 
page 54.
