Connect to a
Dual-purpose Port A dual-purpose port is one port with two interfaces, one for an RJ45 cable and
another for an approved SFP module. Only one interface can be active at a
time. If both interfaces are connected, the SFP module has priority.
To connect to a dual-purpose port, follow these steps.
1. Connect an RJ45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP
module into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable to the SFP
module port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the other device.
By default, the switch detects whether an RJ45 connector or SFP
module is connected to a dual-purpose port and configures the port
accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to
recognize only an RJ45 connector or only an SFP module by using the
media type interface configuration command.
ATTENTION: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or
the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the
cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
