1-Gigabit/10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
The 1-Gigabit/10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. These ports use the
hot-swappable SFP or SFP+ optical transceivers. The SFP transceivers have LC connectors to interface
with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable and RJ-45 connectors for the coppoer
interfaces.

By default, the Ethernet management port is enabled. The switch cannot route packets from the Ethernet
management port to a network port, and from the network port to the Ethernet port. To obtain these, the
Fa1 interface is automatically placed in a separate routing domain (or VRF domain), called mgmtVrf.

The length of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the
signal speed, and the transmission medium (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). The
distance and rate limits in this document are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for
signaling.
