Console Port
The OS6850-24X front panel

sole connections. Console con-
nections are used by network
administrators for switch man-
agement. This female RJ-45 con-
nector provides a DTE console

Status and Slot Indicator LEDs
For information on the OS6850-24X’s

.
USB Port
High speed USB port, which
can be used for quick upgrades.
Combo SFP
The OS6850-24X provides four combo
SFP connectors 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 24, Ethernet port 24
would no longer be available and cannot
be used for 10/100/1000 traffic. This
default setting is referred to as “preferred
fiber.” Refer to “Configuring Ethernet” in
the
Network Configuration Guide
for
detailed information, including steps for
configuring combo port settings
.
XFP
The OS6850-24X front panel provides
two for 10 Gbps Small Form Factor
Pluggable (XFP) transceivers.
