Connecting to Dual-Purpose Ports
Step 1 Insert an RJ-45 connector or an SFP module in the port. See Figure 2-24.
For more information about RJ-45 connectors and SFP modules, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-22and the “Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules” section on page 2-24.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the other device. The switch automatically detects the connection and configures the port.
By default, the switch detects that either an RJ-45 copper connector or a fiber-optic SFP module in a dual-purpose port and configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize only an RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media type interface configuration command. For more information, see the switch command reference.
Where to Go Next
You can use the default configuration or use any of the management options described in the “Management Options” section on page 1-15to change the switch settings.
