supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection and can be 
connected to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or a 
1000BASE-T device.
Ports 1 to 16 (2816-SFP) or ports 1 to 24 (2824-SFP) are 
auto-negotiating: their speed and duplex mode (half 
duplex or full duplex for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, full 
duplex only for 1000BASE-T) are automatically 
determined by the capabilities of the connected device. 
CAUTION: The Switch supports full duplex 
auto-negotiation. If auto-negotiation is disabled for 
1000BASE-T, then the Switch uses the forced-mode 
default of 100 full duplex mode. If the connected device 
does not support auto-negotiation, the Switch will 
operate in half duplex mode (even if the attached device 
is operating in full duplex mode). In such a 
configuration, you may notice some degradation of 
network performance. 3Com recommends that you use 
devices that are capable of auto-negotiation (and that 
you ensure that auto-negotiation is enabled, if it is a 
configurable option).
(2) SFP Ports
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports are 
numbered 13 to 16. If an SFP transceiver (purchased 
separately) is installed in a slot and is active, the 
associated RJ-45 port of the same number is disabled.
The four SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet 
short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) 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.
SFP ports are numbered 13 to 16 (2816-SFP) and 21 to 
24 (2824-SFP) on the Switch. When an SFP port is 
active, it has priority over the 10/100/1000 port of the 
same number. The corresponding 10/100/1000 port is 
disabled when an SFP transceiver is plugged in.
(3) Link/Activity Status LEDs
The following table lists LEDs visible on the front of the 
Switch, and how to read their status according to color.
