Figure 2.3 shows the FGS648P and FGS648P-POE.

Figure 2.3 FGS648P and FGS648P-POE

The FGS648P and FGS648P-POE have the following ports:

•48 10/100/1000 Copper ports that support 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors

•Four Gigabit Fiber uplink ports (1F – 4F) for mini-GBIC optical transceivers (also called Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA)-compliant optical transceivers)

Note that ports 1 – 4 of the copper ports and 1F – 4F of the fiber ports are combination ports, meaning either the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be active at a time. For example, for copper port 1 and fiber port 1F, only one of these ports can be active at any given time. The same applies to copper port 2 and fiber port 2F, and so forth. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all four copper or all four fiber ports, as needed. For more information, see “Combination Ports” on page 2-7.

•Optionally, two 10-GbE ports. See “10 Gbps Ports” on page 2-7.

Control Features

Each device’s front panel has the following control features:

•Serial management interface (the port labeled Console)

•Reset button

•10/100/1000 ports with RJ-45 copper connectors

•100/1000 ports with mini-GBIC slots for SFP MSA-compliant fiber transceivers

•The FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE have one 10-Gigabit Ethernet port for XFP MSA compliant fiber connector(s)

•Optionally, two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for XFP MSA-compliant fiber connectors

•LEDs for ports, power supplies, and stacking1
