comprehensive types of connector, distance, fiber mode and so on. The switch describes the module
ports with the following page.
y
Link
:
Show that if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to a working-well device, the
Link will show the link “Up”; otherwise, it will show “Down”. This is determined by the hardware on both
devices of the connection.
