The figure below shows a sample application example for using OmniSwitch 6850 Series combo ports. 
Workstations A and B are connected with 100 Mbps links to copper combo ports 1/21 and 1/22, respec-
tively. (SFP combo ports 1/21 and 1/22 are unused.) Server A has a primary 1 Gbps fiber connection to 
combo SFP connector 1/23 and a backup 100 Mbps connection to copper combo port 1/23. And the 
OmniSwitch 9700 has a primary 1 Gbps connection to combo SFP connector 1/24 and a backup 100 
MBps connection to copper combo port 1/24.

Follow the steps below to configure this application example:

1 Set the speed of copper combo ports 1/21 through 1/24 to 100 Mbps with the 

command by entering:

-> interfaces 1/21-24 hybrid copper speed 100

2 Set copper combo ports 1/21 and 1/22 to forced copper mode—which will ensure the links stay up 
even if a cable is plugged into SFP combo ports 1/21 and 1/22—with the 

 command by entering:

-> interfaces 1/21-22 hybrid forced-copper

Workstation A connected 
to RJ-45 port 1/21.

Server A connected to SFP 
connector 1/23 (primary) 
and RJ-45 port 1/23 
(backup).

Workstation B connected 
to RJ-45 port 1/22.

OmniSwitch 9700 A con-
nected to SFP connector 1/
24 (primary) and RJ-45 
port 1/24 (backup).
