Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines
Connecting to the Uplink Ports
Table 
| Module | Uplink Ports | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Route Switch | Two 10/100/1000  | 
| Processor 720 | • Port 1 requires that a  | 
| 
 | |
| 
 | • Port 2 supports either a  | 
| 
 | connector. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Three Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports (1 gigabit per second [Gbps]): | |
| 
 | • Ports 1 and 2 require that a  | 
| 
 | • Port 3 supports either a  | 
| 
 | Note Use Category 5 Shielded Twisted Pair cable at port 3. | 
| 
 | Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports (10 Gbps): | 
| 
 | • Ports 4 and 5 require that a  | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Supervisor Engine 720 | Two Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports: | 
| 
 | • Port 1 requires that a  | 
| 
 | • Port 2 supports either a  | 
| 
 | connector. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Supervisor Engine 32 | • The  | 
| 
 | port and eight Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. The Gigabit Ethernet uplink | 
| 
 | ports require SFP modules to be installed into them. | 
| 
 | • The  | 
| 
 | and two  | 
| 
 | ports require XENPAK optics modules to be installed into them. The ports | 
| 
 | operate at 10 Gbps. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Supervisor Engine 2 | • Two  | 
| 
 | • You can configure the ports with any combination of copper, | 
|

To connect to the module uplink ports, follow these steps:
Step 1 If necessary, install an optics modules in the empty slots on the front panel.
Note The Sup720 and RSP720 provide two connectors for port 2; however, you can use only one of the connectors at a time. (Note that the 
Step 2 Remove the plugs from the uplink ports and store them for future use.
Step 3 Remove the plugs from the connector on the 
Step 4 Insert the cable connector into the uplink port and make sure that both the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) 
Step 5 (Sup2 only) If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with multimode fiber (MMF), you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable. For instructions, see the “Patch Cord” section on page
