Configuring a port involves defining the port mode. For public devices and other 
switches, a switch automatically sets the port mode as each port discovers the 
type of device to which it is connected. The default port mode is GL_Port.

A GL_Port will self configure as an FL_Port when connected to a loop of public 
devices or an F_Port when connected to a single device. A G_Port will self 
configure as an F_Port when connected to a single public device. Both GL_Ports 
and G_Ports self configure as E_Ports when connected to another switch. Refer 
to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information 
about configuring ports. You can also configure ports using the CLI. Refer to 

 for more information.

Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and 
then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF) 
transceivers or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC). LC-type duplex fiber optic 
cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while SC-type connectors 
are designed for GBICs. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper 
orientation. Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that 
matches the device host bus adapter.
