Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers
Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to
workstations, servers, or routers using network interface cards (NICs).
Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and
routers through fiber ports. Refer to “Connecting a network device to a fiber port.”
Automatic MDI or MDIX detection
All 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Copper ports on the devices support automatic
Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover
(MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gigabit copper ports
by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port
as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
For more information about this feature and how configure it, refer to FastIron
Configuration Guide .
Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the device to a Gbps NIC, switch, or router, using a
fiber optic transceiver, you will need fiber cabling with an LC connector.
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do
the following tasks:
v
Install a fiber optic transceiver (XFP, SFP, or SFP+)
v Cable the fiber optic transceiver
The following sections describe these tasks.
Fiber Optic transceivers
Table 18 lists supported XFP transceivers (for stacking and non-stacking y-series
models). Table 19 on page 36 shows supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers. For
information about cabling for transceivers, see Table 28 on page 53.
