FESX and FWSX Network Interfaces
The FESX and FWSX devices provide the following interfaces:
•
10/100/1000Base-T copper ports
•
10/100/1000Base-BX, CWDM, LH, LX, SX, SX2, or TX Fiber Gigabit uplink ports
•
The FESX424HF also supports 100Base-BX and FX optics. 100Base-FX is supported with software
releases 02.3.01 and later.
•
Optionally, one or two 10GBase-LR, SR, or ER Gigabit uplink ports
The FES X-Series product family supports auto MDI/MDIX detection for 10/100 ports and Gigabit Copper ports.
For more information about this feature, see "Configuring MDI/MDIX" in the FastIron
Edge Switch and
FastIron
Edge Switch X-Series Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
.
FESX and FWSX
10/100/1000 Mbps Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link and adjust port speed
accordingly. 10/100/1000 ports on the devices support the interfaces listed in the section “FESX and FWSX
Network Interfaces” on page 2-11.
The copper ports provide auto MDI/MDIX detection (see the
Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide
).
FESX424HF 100/1000 Mbps Ports
The 100/1000 ports on the FESX424HF are configurable to support the interfaces listed in the section “FESX and
FWSX Network Interfaces” on page 2-11.
The output of the
show media
command displays the type of media installed in the ports.
FESX and FWSX
Combination Ports
One port out of the four fiber ports or the first four copper ports can be active at a time. For example, you can use
ports 1C –4C of the Gigabit Copper ports or ports 1 – 4 of the Gigabit Fiber ports. You can use a combination of
fiber and copper ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence
over the copper connectors. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device selects the
fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device selects the
copper media.
FESX and FWSX
10 Gbps Ports
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet module on the FESX and FWSX is optional. If one is installed on your device, it has
either a one- or two-port optical interface for XFP MSA-compliant 10GBase-LR, 10GBase-SR, or 10GBase-ER –
fiber cabling.
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports use 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant transceivers.
