Table 2 describes the switch module ports. Each external port has an associated LED.

Port

Description

 

 

Ports 1 to 16

Internal Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-X downlink ports.

 

 

Ports 17 to 20 and

Dual-purpose SFP module/RJ-45 copper Ethernet uplink ports. The SFP module

Ports 17x to 20x

ports support only Cisco 1000BASE-SX fiber-optic modules.

 

By default, the switch module dynamically selects the interface type that first

 

links up. SFP modules have precedence if both SFP module and copper Ethernet

 

interface types are in link-up state. You can also specifically configure each port

 

for either copper Ethernet or SFP modules if you do not want to use

 

autodetection.

 

The copper Ethernet ports support automatic medium-dependent interface

 

crossover (auto-MDIX) and autonegotiation.

 

For information about configuring speed and duplex settings for a

 

dual-purpose uplink port, see the software configuration guide.

 

 

Ports 21x to 22x

External 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports that

 

support auto-MDIX and autonegotiation.

 

 

Ports 23x to 24x

Dual-purpose external/internal 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet

 

uplink ports. These ports can be configured for internal 1000BASE-X

 

cross-connection with a corresponding switch module. When ports 23x and

 

24x are in external operation mode, they support auto-MDIX and

 

autonegotiation. The default is external operation mode.

 

 

Internal

The Ethernet management port (Fa0) is used only for switch module

100BASE-T

management traffic, not for data traffic. It is connected to the Onboard

Ethernet port

Administrator through the blade enclosure backplane connector.

 

 

Console port

Switch module management port (RJ-45 connector).
