Combo SFP Ports
The OS6800-48 provides four combo SFP slots for 1000Base-X high-speed
connections.
By default, when an SFP is installed in a combo port, it takes over the port
number of the corresponding RJ-45 Ethernet port. In other words, if an SFP
is installed in the slot labeled 45, Ethernet port 45 is no longer available and
cannot be used for 10/100/1000 traffic. This default setting is referred to as
“preferred fiber.” Refer to “Configuring Ethernet Ports” in the
Network
Configuration Guide
for detailed information, including steps for configur-
ing combo port settings.
10/100/1000Mbps Ports
The OS6800-48 provides 44 fixed 10/100/1000BaseT
ports (1–44) and 4 fixed 10/100/1000BaseT combo
ports (45–48). These ports are auto-sensing and auto-
MDIX and use RJ-45 connectors.
Console Port
The OS6800-48 front panel provides one
RJ-45 port for console connections. Con-
sole connections are used by network
administrators for switch management.
This female RJ-45 connector provides a
DTE console connection.
