Connect to a Dual-purpose Port
A dual-purpose port is a single 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. For more information, refer to the appropriate
documentation at
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.
