Connectivity
The SecureStack A2 switch connects to Ethernet networks or workstations via the fixed front panel MT‐RJ and RJ45 ports and the two SFP uplink ports that support optional Mini‐GBICs.
At the time of this printing, the Mini‐GBICs that are available from Enterasys and supported by the A2 switch are described in Table 1‐1. These Mini‐GBICs meet or exceed the IEEE 802.3z‐1998 standard.
