The following ports on the front
panel:
•
Four SFP+ ports
•
10/100/1000BASE-T
autosensing ports (supported
only in F630x and later)
•
SFP ports (supported only in
F630x and later)
The port must operate at its highest
speed.
•
SFP+ port
—10 Gbps
•
10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing
port
—1 Gbps
•
SFP port
—1 Gbps
In an IRF fabric, the ports used for IRF
connections on the member devices must
be same type.
For a 52-port switch model, the 52 ports
are divided into two groups: ports 1 to 24,
port 51, and port 52 in one group and
ports 25 to 50 in the other group. To bind
multiple ports to an IRF port, make sure
the ports are in the same group. The ports
in one group can be bound to different IRF
ports.
S5560S-28P-EI
S5560S-52P-EI
The following ports on the front
panel:
•
10/100/1000BASE-T
autosensing Ethernet ports
•
SFP ports
The ports must operate at 1 Gbps.

For a 52-port switch model, the 52 ports
are divided into two groups: ports 1 to 24,

ports 25 to 48 and ports on the expansion
module in the other group. To bind
multiple ports to an IRF port, make sure
the ports are in the same group. The ports
in one group can be bound to different IRF
ports.
Planning the cabling scheme
Use the following cables to connect the IRF physical ports on the switches:
•
Category 5 or above twisted-pair cable
—10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing Ethernet ports.
