3. Hardware Description

3.1 1000BASE-T Ports

The switch has 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation, and IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch automatically selects the optimum data rate and transmission.

3.2 SFP Transceiver Slots

The switch supports Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots on ports 1 to 24. It also supports four combo interface (RJ-45/SFP) ports 21 to 24, which can each be configured as RJ-45 or SFP ports. In the default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (part numbers LFP401–LFP404, LFP411–LFP416) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled. Ports 25 to 28 support 10GbE SFP+ transceiver (part numbers LSP421 and LSP422) slots, a high performance interface for backbone uplink.

3.3 Port and System Status LEDs

The switch includes a display panel for system and port LEDs that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, located on the left hand side of the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following table.
