The term switch used throughout this chapter refers to a switching device in a generic sense or the switching engine of a unified switch in the WX3000 series.

The sample output information in this manual was created on the WX3024. The output information on your device may vary.

Ethernet Port Overview

Types and Numbers of Ethernet Ports

Table 1-1 lists the types and numbers of the Ethernet ports available on the WX3000 series devices.

Combo Ports Mapping Relations

An SFP port and its corresponding 10/100/1000Base-T autosensing Ethernet port form a Combo port. That is, only one of the two ports forming the Combo port can be used at a time. Table 1-2 shows the mapping relations between the ports forming the Combo port.
