• Speed: Auto
• Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
• Duplex: Auto

3.1.3 Mini-GBIC Slots
These are 4 or 24 slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A
transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a
transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come
with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-
Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF
committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different
transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic
connectors.
