Note – 8-Gbit/sec SFPs do not support 1-Gbit/sec speed. You should not set the
port speed to 1-Gbit/sec if an 8-Gbit/sec SFP is inserted, as the port will be downed
if you do.
To change the port speed, do the following:
1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.
2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties.
3. Select the option that corresponds to the port speed you want.
4. Click the OK button to write the new port speed to the switch.
TABLE6-8 describes the port speeds.

The ports can be configured to self-discover the proper type to match the device or
switch to which it is connected. TABLE 6-9 describes the port types. To change the port
type, do the following:
1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.
2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog.
