For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation function, refer to the Enterasys Matrix N Standalone Series Configuration Guide.
10BASE-T Network
When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any RJ45 front panel ports of the 2G4072‐52, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
Note: If a port operates at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operations only, Category 3 or Category 5 cabling can be used.
100BASE-TX Network
The RJ45 front panel ports provide a connection that supports Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
Note: The RJ45 ports support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation.
The
1000BASE-SX/SX+/LX Network
The four Mini‐GBICs provide Gigabit Ethernet fiber‐optic connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Other Mini‐GBICs may support different types of cabling connections. The device at the other end of the fiber‐optic connection must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed. Refer to Appendix A for Mini‐GBIC specifications.
1000BASE-T Network
The 2G4072‐52’s 48 ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps through RJ45 front panel connectors. These links accommodate copper wire connections that can operate up to 1000 Mbps. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 10/100/1000BASE‐T network requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed.
Note: The 48 ports of the device support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation.
Ports 1 through 48 can operate at either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The device automatically senses the speed of the connected device and adjusts its speed accordingly.
