Gigabit Ethernet interface module (SFP)
The 24-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet mini-GBIC (or SFP) is auto-sensing, auto-negotiating Ethernet port
and will select the FE or GE mode of operation based on the link signal received.
NOTE
The device will be FE or GE capable, but will only display that is GE to indicate the maximum speed
capability of the module.
NOTE
The actual speed will be displayed once the link is seen and the port auto-senses the speed of the
SFP.
You can issue the show media command to display the type of optic installed and determine the
speed the port will run at when the link is received.
Figure 8 shows the 24-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet mini-GBIC (or SFP) module’s front panel.
