Connecting the Switch to Compatible Devices

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there
might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See

Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,”

for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 4

If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

Step 1

Connect an RJ-45 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, as shown in

Figure 2-21

.

Figure 2-21

Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

Only one port can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the SFP module port has priority. You
cannot configure the priority setting.

Step 2

Connect the other end of the cable to the other device. The switch automatically detects the connection
and configures the port.

Note

By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 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 RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media type interface configuration
command. For more information, see the command reference.
