4.As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.

The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. All of these SFP modules also support auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic cable depends on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Cable Lengths” on page 4-8.

Connectivity Rules

When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
